Cancer is the reason that I never got to know my grandpa, my great aunt’s life was cut short, and my dad even 37 years later still feels the lingering effects. So, when one of my best friends introduced me to Swim Across America I knew I had to help out. The idea that someone else’s family might not have to face the terrible moments that cancer leaves in its wake is something worth fighting for. Even just raising a little money and swimming to the best of my abilities might be able to help change lives, save loved ones, and revolutionize cancer research. So, please, if you are able help our cause by donating and helping save lives! Thank you so much for helping me #MakeWavesToFightCancer.
