This August, I'm swimming with my nephew, RJ Nichols, in honor of his grandfather, Richard Duane Nichols, who passed away from prostate cancer this past April. 

Together we will swim to honor Poppy and many other family and friends who have been impacted by a cancer diagnosis. We swim to raise awareness and funds for prevention, research, treatment and patient programs that make a difference in the lives of those with this disease.

Funds raised from the Richmond swim will support clinical trails and research at the VCU Massey Cancer Center.

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.

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. Since then, Swim Across America has raised over $100M to fund the next generation of pioneers in oncology and cancer-support care.
