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. 

When I moved to Seattle in 2013, I was welcomed into a larger family of love and support. My larger family has last names including (but not limited to): Lindblad, Benoit, Prothero, Regge and Olcese. Each one of these names listed represent their own battles against cancer. This year, I will be swimming in memory of J. Dennis Burns and in honor of Chris Olcese and Charlie Stenson. 

I joined Swim Across America because I believe in their mission and want to assist in giving my family and other 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.
