THE RECORD
Charlotte Samuels cried her way across the English Channel.
She cried because she is small and her challenge was big: A 16-year-old girl chasing a world record, swimming for miles in open water through the blind dark night.
She cried because she was lucky: Most channel attempts require a year of planning and worry, but somehow she hired a boat and a crew in weeks.
She cried because she is loved: As she sprinted the final three miles to France, her parents chanted encouragement every time she lifted her head for air.
