Hello,

I'm writing to share with you that this Saturday, August 10th, I will swim a mile in Boston Harbor to support the mission of Swim Across America. I am happy to take on this challenge as part of Team Kitty's Kats, led by and named after my swim coach, "Coach Kitty", at Xaverian Brothers High School. I'm driven to support cancer research as it has impacted my family and friends in various ways. 

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. 

I joined Swim Across America because I believe in their mission and want to help give more families hope. If you are able, please support me by considering a donation of $10-$20 to help me reach my fundraising goal of $250. 

Thank you for helping me #MakeWavesToFightCancer.
