In our lifetime, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer. I joined the Swim Across America community so that, together, we can change that. Being apart of this event allows me to contribute to something bigger than myself, and I am excited to join others in creating hope for those affected by cancer.

I am excited to participate in Swim Across America St. Louis for a third year, swimming in memory of my beloved aunt and godmother, Jenny Mapes. This event holds a special place in my heart as I honor her legacy and contribute to the fight against cancer. Thank you for your support in helping make waves to fight this disease!
