Welcome to My Personal Page
On August 18th I will run my Fifth Falmouth Road race in support of Swim Across America-Nantucket. This organization has brought hundreds of thousands of dollars right back to Nantucket Cottage Hospital and PASCON to treat those closest to us right on the island they call home in the Swim Across America infusion center.
Unfortunately for my 8 year old daughter not just one but both of her grandmothers were taken by this disease before she ever could meet them.
In memory of…
Grammy Susan Manchester ❤
Grandma Marla Lamb ❤

In our lifetime, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer. I joined the SAA community so that, together, I can change that. I am challenging myself by swimming in the Nantucket Island Swim and raising as much money to fight cancer on Nantucket.
With every dollar raised from our Swim, we are changing the game of cancer care on Nantucket and we should all be proud of that. Proceeds directly support the Nantucket Cottage Hospital (NCH) and the Palliative and Supportive Care of Nantucket (PASCON) oncology efforts to fund vital services for local and visiting cancer patients, minimizing their need to travel for appointments, testing and treatment. Our support allows NCH oncology programs to keep more Nantucket residents on-island for their cancer care, providing them a compassionate and caring environment. We help bring world-class oncologists to the island, allowing our patients to receive treatments at home. Through PASCON, our patients and families receive important physical, emotional and spiritual care free of charge.
Please support me by sponsoring my swim and making a gift. The money you give will go towards cancer care on Nantucket. Thank you for your generosity and may it lead to a cancer-free world!
