In 2024 I will once again be swimming a mile in the Swim Across America St. Louis Open Water Event at Innsbrook Resort and captaining a team as well. I swim in honor of those who have fought, or are fighting, this insidious disease and in memory of the dear friends I have lost to it. 

If you are not currently supporting another participant, I ask you to consider supporting me in this effort to fund cutting edge research right here at Siteman Cancer Center. SAA St. Louis has raised over $1.25 million for this cause since its first event in 2016, and is coming off its most successful year yet. All contributions stay local and every dollar raised attracts 3 or more additional dollars in new funding.

Your contribution makes a real a difference. SAA has played a major role in clinical funding of all four FDA approved immunotherapy drugs, which continues to revolutionize cancer treatment. The study we funded on pancreatic cancer has brought researchers at Siteman  "to the cusp of a breakthrough" ( https://siteman.wustl.edu/swim-across-america-st-louis-funded-study-brings-researchers-to-cusp-of-breakthrough )

...But there is much more to do. 

Please help us Make Waves Against Cancer by making a tax free contribution to support the event. Better yet, join us in the fun! Even if you're not a swimmer, you can participate virtually with the activity of your choice through "SAA My Way" and be recognized along with all the other participants.
