Hi! My name is Charlotte, I have done competitive swimming for two years, but I have known how to swim since I was 2. For as long as I can remember I have loved the water and always find my way back to the pool. This is my first year doing this event. Swimming in open water will be a new challenge, but it is one that I am looking forward to taking on! Swimming has become such an important part of my life and I’m thrilled to be able to use my passion and skills to raise money to help find a cure for cancer! A disease which unfortunately continues to impact so many families. If you are able, please support me by making a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal. Thank you in advance! #MakeWavesToFightCancer. Founded in 1987, Swim Across America has hosted charity swims with one goal: to raise money for innovative cancer research that would lead to breakthrough treatments and therapies. Since then, Swim Across America has raised over $100M to fund the next generation of pioneers in oncology and cancer-support care.
