Diana Nyad, Compete's Diversity Awards Inspiring Athlete of 2012, never gives up.  She's well into plans  for her next attempt to make it from Cuba to Florida. This time she'll be ready for the jellyfish.  In Diana's own words:

The Xtreme Dream is very much alive! Come summer 2012 I will finally walk up on that Florida shore after swimming all those long miles from Cuba. I'm all ready, my body, shoulders, muscles and my mind are all prepared for the 60 to 70 hours to make it across. My world-class team of experts are ready for the challenge. The only missing piece to this Xtreme Dream is finding protection from the deadly jellyfish out there. There are swimsuit makers working hard on solving this problem. Here's a few suits that might do the job. The jellyfish are a conundrum we have not yet solved, but we will get there.
