My friend Steve Bosak encouraged me to join Team Kelly and their team swimming in Long Island to raise money for Swim Across America’s noble mission. Many people close to me have been affected by cancer. Many have beat it and, tragically, many have not. Most recently, just a few weeks after signing up to swim with Team Kelly, I learned of the passing of a law school classmate - decades before she should have gone. This year I’ll be swimming 2km in the Long Island Sound to raise money for cancer research and patient programs. Next year I’d like to do a longer swim. If you care to support this mission, pleas feel free to make a donation. Thank you so much.
