GoldenPalace.com financed retired marine Jay Platt in a very challenging competition. Jay successfully completed the one and a half mile distance with his hands and feet tied.
One of the reasons for this competition was the desire of Jay Platt to express gratitude towards former Marines for their militant achievements. The public should know that US Marines who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan return home wounded not only physically, but also morally and instead of helping them to arrange normal lives, our society makes it harder.
Besides Jay Platt, only two more individuals have accomplished the swim. One of them was Italian athlete Alberto Christini and the other one was a fitness guru Jack Lalanne. Both men were in great shape; however, Jay Platt took the first prize. GoldenPalace.com sent a five thousand dollars check for Platt to the Semper Fi fund. The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund provides financial assistance to injured Marines, sailors, and members of other service branches injured while assigned to Marine forces, and their families. The central goal is to help defray expenses incurred during recovery and rehabilitation, so that the focus of the family can be on their Marine.
Because GoldenPalace.com supports peace policy; Marines were able to find a listening ear and great appreciation. This online casino initiates various campaigns and charities besides Alcatraz Swim. In recent months, the total amount of money raised was over one million dollars worldwide.
