Hello, my swim in 2024 will be my fourth planned swim with Swim Across America.  

Whereas the overall purpose of these swims has been to raise money for cancer, my main inspiration has been to do these swims for my father-in-law, Larry Weiss, who passed away in 2018 at the age of 77 due to Leukemia.  Although modern therapies helped extend his life while battling Leukemia, we all wish he could still be with us today.  He is sorely missed - especially by my wife Liz Weiss, her brother Robert Weiss and of course his wife, Suzanne Weiss.

So, I am swimming to honor of Larry's memory and to give more families hope when one of their own becomes afflicted with cancer. If you are able, please support me by making a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal. 

Thank you for helping me #MakeWavesToFightCancer.

Regards,

Oliver Koehler
