Welcome to Scott Whelan's Page
I have been fundraising money with Swim Across America - Seattle in a unique way for doctors and researchers in Seattle for 15 years. While we have made progress, these doctors and researchers need more funding. Support me in helping fund these doctors and researchers.
What is this unique method? Swim Across America(SAA) funds high-risk, high-reward early career cancer investigators who need early stage funding to prove their initial ideas in hopes of getting a National Cancer Institute(NCI) grant to further move their ideas into clinical trials and ultimately a cancer treatment. The NCI likes safe bets.
In a nutshell, SAA provides angel funding for cancer research. We have proof this unique method works. Swim Across America's funding early stage grants have played a major role in clinically developing FDA-approved immunotherapy treatments like Ipilimumab (YERVOY),Nivolumab (OPDIVO),Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA) & Atezolizumab (TECENTRIQ). Swim Across America does this by hosting charity swims across the country. The Swim Across America - Seattle event is Sept 9th. Please join in our mission. You don't have to swim to have an impact you can join this team to either volunteer or swim in person or virtually. Also even better you can just DONATE to the cause by clicking on 'DONATE' here in this team.
