US 2008 Paralympian Swimmer, Marin Morrison has passed away

Hi, It is sad that Marin never grew old enough to swim as a master, but she wrapped a lifetime of swimming into her 18 years. She passed away this morning, after fighting an aggressive brain tumor for the last 4 years of her life. She swam at our Aquatic Center here in Bellevue, Wa. and was an inspiration to all who met her. She was a swimmer, afterall. She concluded her swimming career this fall in Beijing, China, where she competed in three events. The local ABC affiliate has been following her for the last few years and many in the area have followed her journey. Here are a few links to some stories that KOMO TV4 have done on her. (a channel who's number one anchor has been battling a brain tumor for almost a decade) Her story Her Final Beijing Prep Her Olympic Story on NBC (there will be tears :angel:) Her Charity with Hurley Her Passing With all the challenges that were going on in her life, you could see that each day that the session in the pool was the best part of the day. And isn't that how it is for all of us? She inspired us and we will miss her. Tonite, I bet she is excited to be getting back into the swing of two 'a days, and swimming the fastest times of her life.............and not needing a tech suit to do it:angel:. An inspiring story to pass on. Be healthy, Happy and Appreciative Tom
