With your donation you can help me fight cancer for Swim Across America!
It has been thirteen years since Baltimore joined Swim Across America – twelve for me. We are as excited today as we were when we first jumped in the water in September 2010.
In those first few years it was a “good cause” that needed support. It has become deeply personal. This swim is for those who have shown incredible grace and courage during their battles with cancer, our family and friends who have bravely fought this fight - some who have prevailed, and those who have lost. With you supporting the doctors at Hopkins, I know one day we will beat this!
My Team SPLASH has raised over $560,000. The Swim Across America Lab at Johns Hopkins, funded by this swim, supported the clinical trials for the ground breaking and life saving cancer drug – KeyTruda.
This year, Swim Across America Baltimore will fund a series of new and exciting research projects that will explore immunotherapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer, tumor environments of high grade neuroendocrine carcinomas, subtypes of prostate cancer for better outcomes and relapse factors of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
What makes Swim Across America so different from other fundraisers? We know the impact of our effort and it is significant. The work that they do at Hopkins, much of which has been funded by this swim, has literally saved so many people that I love. Please consider sponsoring me again and donating to help us fight this horrible, pervasive disease. Thank you for the years of generous support.
