An Arizona woman dove headfirst into history and did it for a cause close to her heart.
At 66, Deborah Gardner became the oldest woman ever to swim the 21-mile Catalina Channel, a grueling overnight trek through cold, shark-filled waters under a glowing supermoon.
But this wasn’t just about breaking a record; it was about honoring her 90-year-old Marine father and raising money for veterans’ mental health.
From determination to dedication, Gardner’s swim proves that courage runs deep — in the water and in the heart.
