Either this guy has a death wish or he really believes in his cause enough to die for it.
"Slovenian Martin Strel plans to swim 3,375 miles down the world's greatest river, defying piranhas, snakes, crocodiles and even sharks."
Martin is 52 years old and the swim will take him 70 days to complete. He's swimming for world peace and the environment. Hey, he's risking life and limb, he might as well aim high with his goals.
"I've always been swimming for peace and friendship. I decided to dedicate the Amazon swim also to the preservation of the rain forest and clean waters," he said.
All the power to him. And at a cost of $1 million to fund the swim, I hope he gets a lot of publicity for his cause.
