After a long and courageous struggle with cancer, Laura passed away on 1/18/23, five days after her 70th birthday.  Many of you have witnessed her strength (& sense of humor) through her regular Facebook posts.  There was no one like her.

We have been part of the SAA community for many years, and our fundraising was always personal.  Laura was helped by drugs developed as a direct result of research funded by Swim Across America.  I am swimming in the Long Island Sound Open Water Swim and raising money for everyone who is fighting cancer. Please support this fight by making a gift. The money you give will go towards cancer research, prevention and treatment and will make an impact in the fight to find a cure.  It helped Laura!  Thank you for your generosity and may it lead to a cancer-free world!
