My Colleagues are Overwhelming in Their Support

Both in Rotterdam at the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy and more especially at San Antonio for the American Physical Therapy Association's Annual Conference, the support and best wishes for my swim is truly overwhelming. On being introduced at the Foundation for Physical Therapy banquet in San Antonio, the audience came to their feet. I was immediately struck with just how much my colleagues are supporting both financially and, in this case, emotionally my attempt to become the oldest to have swum the Channel. Yes it increases the pressure on me, but I know I have their utmost best wishes and I am sure that will have a positive effect.

During my brief response I made it clear that it was not about Stanley Paris swimming the Channel, but about physical therapist Stanley Paris using his lifetime of experiences in the restoration, maintenance, and enhancement of the physical functioning to swim the Channel.
