GoldenPalace.com , one of the Internet's leading
online gambling destinations, recently sponsored an ex-marine who successfully
swam the one and half miles from the infamous Alcatraz island to San Francisco
Bay shore.
What's more, Jay 'Patch' Platt swam the one and a half mile distance with his
hands and feet tied. He is only the third recorded man in history to accomplish
the feat, following fitness fanatic, Jack Lalanne and Italian, Alberto Christini.
With its long history of sponsoring bizarre events and undertakings, it was no
surprise that
GoldenPalace.com jumped at the opportunity to sponsor Platt in his
daring endeavor, and sent a check for $5000 on his behalf to the Semper Fi fund.
After completing the challenge, a tired but exhilarated Platt explained to the
gathered media that completing the swim was a way for him to raise awareness for
the Marines that are returning wounded to the US from the conflicts in Afghanistan and?Iraq.
Richard Rowe,
GoldenPalace.com chief executive officer congratulated Platt on
his impressive accomplishment and for the courage and sheer determination of the
US Marines based overseas to protect the States.
