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. 

This year I will be dedicating my swim to Gina Mannix Wente, one of my oldest and best childhood friends. We met as kids at the Larchmont Shore Club where we spent our summers swimming and using early morning practices as an excuse for a sleepover. As we got older, swimming continued to bond us, spending countless hours at practices and sharing hotel rooms for travel meets. Gina and I have participated in Swim Across America over the years and this year I will carry on the tradition in her memory as she lost her hard fought battle with breast cancer on February 26, 2024. 

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.
