On Saturday, Dec. 13, more than 65 Glenview Titan Aquatic Club swimmers participated in the "Hour of Power" charity swim event, with the proceeds benefiting the Ted Mullin Fund (www.tedmullinfund.org).

The event was held at Glenbrook South High School and more than $1,200 was raised during the "Hour of Power." This fund was named for a young man who swam on teams in the North suburbs and lost his life to a rare form of cancer called sarcoma.

The fund was started by Ted's parents who still live in the area. The cause has been embraced by more than 160 swim teams across the country, including Glenbrook High School.

The club's swimmers of all ages and levels were divided into equal teams for one hour of continuous relays.
