Welcome to Ellen's Page:TEAM STACEY
I am participating in memory of my amazing and beautiful daughter Stacey Rose. Her courage and strength had no limits. She was and continues to be an inspiration to us all.
To challenge myself, I am also swimming in honor of my wonderful sister, Joan, who has been through so much and never complains.
I swim each lap in honor of John G, who is dealing like a champ.
I also participate for Aurora, Bob, Caroline, Carly, Danny, Harry, Jack, Irena, Irene, Kelly, Maggie, Marguerite, Maria P, Mikaela, Paula, Sean, Scott, Tammi, Tara and ALL survivors!
Riley, as always will help me to the finish line!!!
This year, I will swim harder holding on to the memory of three Very special people that were so dear to my family and Team Stacey-
Bobby Menges who fought long & hard, lost his battle at the age of 19, my friend Debbie Amodeo who lost her fight with breast cancer, and dear Yolande who fought so hard and showed us all true compassion.
Also, in memory of our dear friend Agatha, Mary and sweet Hudson.
And always...In Memory of Papou Cachules and Papou Leondis.Xoxox
PERSONAL CHALLENGE: Swimming 2 miles each week...all summer!!!
I swim & raise funds for ALL the families who have been affected by cancer...PLEASE support our team-
Please donate and help fight this terrible disease. Join, Volunteer, Donate!!
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, we can change that. I am challenging myself by swimming in the Sound to Cove Open Water Swim and raising as much money to fight cancer as I can. Please support me by sponsoring my swim and making a gift. The money you give will go towards cancer research, prevention and treatment and will make an impact in the fight to find a cure. Thank you for your generosity and may it lead to a cancer-free world!
Thank you,
Ellen
