Welcome to Team Keren at Swim Across America Atlanta! We are friends, neighbors, family members, old swimmer people, new swimmer people, never swimmer people – all united with the common goal of Fighting Cancer. 

Our team is inspired by our namesake Keren, a fierce warrior and a 2-time childhood cancer fighter, which resulted in a below-the-knee amputation for rhabomyosarcoma in 2018 and a partial scapulectomy (removal of half of her shoulder blade) for osteosarcoma in 2022. Keren is not only our inspiration, she is also a teammate and will be swimming the 1-mile open water distance this year.

Our team has grown to include members who honor their nephew battling Ewing’s Sarcoma, members who are cancer warriors and survivors themselves, and all of us who have friends and family members who fought and continue to fight.

Here in Atlanta, our fundraising supports childhood cancer researchers at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Cancer Center, the next generation of cancer pioneers. Their essential research leads to breakthroughs that can save lives. Thank you for helping make an impact in the fight to find a cure!

I swim so no more families have to say goodbye. And I am grateful for your support!
