Don and Doug Swim For Their Causes Both Don Macdonald and Doug McConnell have much more in mind for their Channel swim than reaching the shore of France. Both men have causes near and dear to their hearts. They encourage us to participate in their swim and their causes. For more information, please see below and visit the websites listed for each. Don Macdonald has teamed up with the Barrington 220 Educational Foundation, with particular interest in the support of social emotional learning for district students. Don, formerly of Goshen, Ind., blogs about his journey to swim the English Channel. Don discusses his three-year planning, expert advice from previous Channel swimmers, training, planned milestone swims and community charity efforts from soup to nuts. Doug McConnell will be swimming the English Channel in support of the fight against ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. 100 percent of the proceeds will go to support groundbreaking research at the Les Turner ALS Research Laboratory at Northwestern University, one of the top ALS research laboratories in the world.
