Dear Friends and Family,

We’re diving into action and need your splash of support!

I’m teaming up with the incredible Janice Linso Badessa, a fellow MSJA friend, to honor Angela and Clare, two brave Mounties battling cancer with incredible strength. Together, we're turning our swims into a statement: we refuse to stand by. Our goal is to raise $500, and we’re asking for your support to help us achieve it!

Here’s the plan: During the event, we’ll be swimming 15 laps. Why 15 laps? Because every 15 minutes, 50 Americans are diagnosed with cancer. Each set of 15 laps will symbolize these new diagnoses and our commitment to fighting back.

Your donation will directly support groundbreaking research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and pediatric oncology at Mass General Hospital for Children Cancer Center—research that could change lives, including Angela’s and Clare’s.

Let’s make waves and fight back against cancer. Join us in this mission—every donation, big or small, creates ripples of hope and progress.

Thank you for being a champion in this fight and for helping us honor Angela and Clare. Together, let’s swim towards a future free of cancer!

With gratitude and determination,

Donna and Janice
