Cancer affects us all, either directly or through those we love. With the saddening statistic that 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, it's clear that this fight touches every community.

I've decided to take on the challenge of Swim Across America, not just as a personal goal but as a commitment to making a real difference. This organization raises crucial funds for cancer research, supporting the dedicated scientists who are working on the front lines of discovery and treatment.

By contributing to my swim, you're not just making a donation—you're playing a vital role in funding early-stage research that could lead to breakthrough treatments and, ultimately, a cure. These researchers are part of our community, and their work relies on the support we provide.

Your generosity will help accelerate their efforts and bring hope to countless individuals and families affected by cancer. Thank you for joining me in this important mission. Together, we can turn the tide in the fight against cancer.
