Ben Beard (CEO of Red Cliff Homes) accomplished his "10X Ultimate Goal" of swimming the English Channel to raise money for the Grant Cardone Foundation. The swim totaled 24.5 miles and stretched 16 hours and 40 minutes.
AVENTURA, Fla., June 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On Saturday, June 10th, Ben Beard's "10X Ultimate Goal" of swimming the English Channel began in Dover, England and ended on the beaches of France. Initially Beard expected to swim a total of 21 miles with average swim times hovering at 13 hours, 33 minutes and 54 seconds.
However, difficult currents toward the end of the swim added significant time and distance to the already extreme challenge. Despite the adversity, Beard successfully crossed the English Channel swimming a total of 24.5 miles in 16 hours and 40 minutes.
Beard decided to tackle this grueling feat as a way to improve himself and to give back to his business mentor, Grant Cardone. According to Beard, "Grant Cardone is the reason I took a chance on a business opportunity and became successful." To give back, the construction CEO used the occasion of his big challenge to raise money for the Grant Cardone Foundation, which brings financial literacy education to at-risk youth. At the time of this release, Ben's big swim has raised just under $10,000 for the Grant Cardone Foundation.
After completing the swim, a visibly exhausted Ben Beard posted an update on Instagram:
"I just want to give a huge thank you to everyone for your prayers and support…it's definitely what got me through it…please don't forget to donate to the Grant Cardone Foundation."
The Grant Cardone Foundation would like to congratulate and thank Ben Beard for accomplishing his "10X Ultimate Goal" and supporting the Grant Cardone Foundation.
Donations to the fundraising campaign will continue through the end of June. To learn more or donate, visit: https://goal.grantcardonefoundation.com/
