History
Diana is a famed marathon swimmer who previously hit her peak in the 1970's when she previously attempted to swim this distance in 1978 but was pulled out after 42 hours.
Motivation
When asked her motivation, Diana explained, "Because I'd like to prove to the other 60-year-olds that it is never too late to start your dreams."
Nyad’s second attempt to complete this swim has gained the attention of thousands of supporters, including the official sponsorship by Secret Deodorant, which has created an entire social platform on Facebook for fans to share encouraging messages and support.
