A cancer survivor is anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer no matter where they are in the course of their disease.

I am a cancer survivor.

In late 2023, I was diagnosed with a tumor which turned out to be cancer. Luckily, my cancer had not spread and was treated with surgery to remove my kidney.  Its been 6 months and I doing great so far.

I am doing a 2 mile charity swim in the Long Island Sound to fundraise for Swim Across America. 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.

Proceeds support immunotherapy research at the Swim Across America Laboratory at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, immunotherapy research and clinical trials at the Swim Across America Laboratory at Weill Cornell Cancer Center, lung cancer clinical trials at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, pediatric brain cancer research at the Feinstein Institute of North Shore and pediatric oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Children's Cancer Hospital.

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.
