Two foreign athletes who survived the South Asian tsunamis last year will hold a charity swimming event in Thailand on Dec. 24 to raise funds for Thai children who lost parents in the disaster.
The event is being organized by John Devine from Australia and Brent Barnes from the United States, both Tokyo residents for more than 10 years, in cooperation with a Thai foundation helping the orphans.
Devine is a former triathlon champion in Australia and Barnes is the world record-holder for the 50- and 100-meter freestyle swimming events for people aged 45 to 49.
