Let's make waves to fight cancer!
Hey Y'all! My name's Connor. I'm a lover of endurance sports and am pumped to be participating in the Swim Across America! For those of you who don't know, my mom was diagnosed with oral cancer in the summer of 2022. It was a brutal diagnosis, and a painful recovery, the ramifications of which she's still dealing with today. By sheer luck, I stumbled across SAA Chicago summer of 2022 just minutes before the race began. I signed up, and since then have been participating to help do my part to fight cancer. Swim Across America hosts charity swims across the U.S. in an effort to fund desperately needed cancer research, and has raised over $100 Million to fund research and care.
I have a personal goal of raising $500, and our team, Grin and Bear It, has a goal to raise $2,500 by Aug. 3rd. Please help us do the good work of fighting this horrible disease. Don't worry, I'll take care of the swimming. All you have to do is pay! All jokes aside, thank you for helping me #MakeWavesToFightCancer.
Let's do this!
