DIANA NYAD

WHENEVER YOU WANT TO GIVE UP, THINK OF DIANA NYAD.  HER MANTRA IS "FIND A WAY."

AGE: 64
OCCUPATION: LONG DISTANCE SWIMMER
OBSTACLES: TRIED FOUR TIMES TO SWIM FROM CUBA TO FLORIDA, ONCE IN 1978 AND
THREE TIMES IN 2011 AND 2012
TRIUMPH:  ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2013 SHE BECAME THE FIRST PERSON TO SWIM FROM
CUBA TO FLORIDA (110 MILES IN 53 HOURS) WITHOUT A SHARK CAGE.

I AM RAISING MY GLASS TO A WOMAN WHO DEFINED PERSISTENCE, PERSEVERANCE,
ENDURANCE AND NEVER GIVING UP.  YOU ARE A WORLD HERO.

BEYONCÉ
