When I was a young girl I was terrified of the the water. I wouldn't even let my mom get water on my face during bath time. Then my little brother and sister began swimming before me and I knew I needed face my fear and get in the water! The early morning swim practices built my endurance, taught me perseverance and instilled a confidence in a way that no other sport or activity could. As an adult, I have continued to swim laps as a way to stay physically and mentally fit and now my little sister is inspiring me again to get in the water and Swim Across America!  I've never embarked on an open water swim until now and it will be my first mile long open water swim for cancer! Will you support my swim by donating to help us raise funds and Make Waves To Fight Cancer?  

Thank you with all my love,
