An Illinois pastor swam across the English Channel to raise money for building a school in Angola. Swimming for Charity The Rev. Mike Solberg of Rockford, Ill., made the 21-mile swim across the English Channel Saturday in 13 hours and 31 minutes, part of his goal to raise $50,000 for a school in Waku Kungo, Angola. “There were definitely times especially between hours 6-9 when I doubted I would finish, but overall, it was a great experience,” he wrote on his blog. Solberg is one of 61 people to have swum the channel this year, many of whom do it to raise money for charity or other causes. Rhode Islander Ray Gandy raised money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society during his August swim, while 26-year-old Englishwoman Victoria Moore raised money for the Stroke Association.
