70 year old Ian Rutherford will celebrate his birthday by swimming 100 laps to raise money for the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. Rutherford has been a longtime member of the YMCA and wants to give back to the organization that allowed him to take part in swimming lessons and team sports as a kid.
The swim-a-thon will take place this Thursday from 12:00-1:00PM at the Y in Chatham.
Rutherford has already raised 1,000 dollars in pledges. Donations are still being accepted at the Y’s front desk.
