Follow on August 24th as Joe swims across Lake Charlevoix!

Meet Joe

Joe Riess is an endurance athlete from Beavercreek, Ohio, who is passionate about making a difference. Last year, he ran 326 miles across the state of Ohio to raise money for the House of the People, a non-profit organization in Dayton that provides food, shelter, and support to refugees from Rwanda.

This year, Joe is back with another challenge – to swim across Lake Charlevoix in Michigan.

Am I a fool at this late day to heed a voice that says, “you can be great”?
