Every 15 minutes, 50 Americans are diagnosed with cancer.

I have joined the Swim Across America-Nantucket family so that I can continue to give cancer patients hope by raising funds to support on-island cancer treatment and patient care. Living on an Island can be challenging, especially when you have health issues.

Proceeds directly support  Nantucket Cottage Hospital's oncology program which brings world-class oncology services to Nantucket, allowing patients to access much of their cancer care close to home, without the cost and stressful burden of off-island travel.  Many of these cancer services are performed in the new state of the art Swim Across America Infusion Center.   Similarly, SAA - Nantucket funding that supports Palliative and Supportive Care of Nantucket allows them to provide direct care and services on the island to patients and families who are coping with cancer, free of charge. This year we will also be supporting break through cancer research at Mass General Hospital with some of the funds raised.

If you are able, please support me by making a donation to my personal fundraising page. Every bit helps and will make a huge impact on those fighting cancer on Nantucket.

Our event is on Saturday July 27 and I will be swimming 2 miles in our local waters.

If you're on Island come join us.

Thank you for your support.
