Many persons attempt the swim, but only one in three succeeds.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"774917\" data-originallang=\"en\">Stephanie succeeded in magnificent fashion, completing the swim in only 18 hours. More impressive is the fact that her swim was all about helping others. She raised $7,500 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"774918\" data-originallang=\"en\">Stephanie's twin sister Sarah, who suffers from Type 1 diabetes, was present for Stephanie's swim, as were other justifiably proud family members.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"774919\" data-originallang=\"en\">Stephanie is a credit to her family, a credit to her community and a credit to her country. As Winston Churchill said, \u201cWe make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"774920\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to thank Stephanie for what she has given to others.</p>",

Seulement une personne sur trois qui tente la travers\u00e9e parvient \u00e0 la terminer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"774917\" data-originallang=\"en\">Stephanie a magnifiquement r\u00e9ussi, effectuant la travers\u00e9e en seulement 18 heures. Fait encore plus impressionnant, son exploit avait exclusivement pour but d'aider autrui. En effet, elle a recueilli 7 500 $ pour la Fondation de la recherche sur le diab\u00e8te juv\u00e9nile.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"774918\" data-originallang=\"en\">La jumelle de Stephanie, Sarah, qui est atteinte du diab\u00e8te de type 1, a assist\u00e9 \u00e0 l'exploit de sa soeur en compagnie d'autres membres de la famille qui avaient bien raison d'\u00eatre fiers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"774919\" data-originallang=\"en\">Stephanie fait honneur \u00e0 sa famille, \u00e0 sa collectivit\u00e9 et \u00e0 son pays. C'est Winston Churchill qui a dit: \u00ab On vit de ce que l\u2019on obtient. On construit sa vie sur ce que l\u2019on donne. \u00bb </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"774920\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je remercie Stephanie pour ce qu'elle a donn\u00e9 en pensant aux autres.</p>"
