Why do I swim?

I swim for my cousin, Margaret Anne, so we can raise awareness about children with cancer. 

I swim for our family friend, Shayle, so we can find more treatments for colon cancer.

I swim for GrandWindy so we can find a cure for melanoma.

I swim for my childhood babysitter, Mrs. Debbie, so we can find a cure for breast cancer.

I swim to give hope to friends and family affected by cancer.

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 making a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal. 

Thank you for helping me #MakeWavesToFightCancer.​
