Dear Friends and Family, 

This September, as a member of the Providence College Swim and Dive team, I will be swimming a one mile race at Roger Wheeler Beach in Narragansett to raise funds to support Swim Across America. Founded in 1987, 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. I am proud to be a part of the PC swim team who cares deeply for this cause and alone raised more than $56,000 last year!

I joined Swim Across America because I have had several family members who have been impacted by cancer. I am fundraising in support of those who are going through cancer, especially my grandmother who was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and has been my role model for my whole life. She has spent her life as a doctor treating others and I would like to do my part to support those who are going through cancer diagnoses and treatments.  If you are able, I would be grateful for your support by making a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal. 

Thank you for helping me #MakeWavesToFightCancer,

Liza Goetcheus
