Please join me in Making Waves to Fight Cancer!

On August 10th I will be swimming with Swim Across America to raise money that will fund next generation cancer research.

While an estimated 40% of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime, National Cancer Institute funding for investigative research and clinical trials has decreased 25% the past 10 years. 

This benefit swim at Castle Island is so important because it raises dollars that are invested RIGHT HERE IN BOSTON into early-stage cancer research and clinical trials. The researchers we are funding are IN OUR COMMUNITY are the next generation of cancer pioneers. Without Swim Across America early-stage funding, they are not able to conduct trials that can lead to breakthroughs that can save lives.

I will be swimming the 1/2-mile course in Pleasure Bay in honor of our many loved ones who have battled cancer.  

Thank you for your gift to help find a cure.

You can make a credit card donation here, or send a check to Swim Across America - Boston, c/o Jamie Mannion, PO Box 206, 300 Broadway Lbby, Revere, MA 02151.

Check should be made out to Swim Across America but please include a note mentioning my name as the swimmer you are supporting!
