Front Range Barracudas are Making Waves to Fight Cancer with Swim Across America. Everyone's life has been impacted by cancer which is why we're swimming to help "Make Waves to Fight Cancer" and raise money for cancer research, prevention and treatment.

  • SAA Denver funds benefit two research projects at the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children's Hospital Colorado. The cancer predisposition program led by Dr. Michael Edwards will develop best practices in research and treatment for children with cancer predisposition syndromes and work in concert with our adult oncology partners to continue life- span care for families affected by genetic predisposition syndromes. The cancer rehabilitation program development project, led by Dr. Allison L’Hotta, is studying ways to help pediatric cancer patients recover from their treatment and the negative physical consequences of intensive therapies that may include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy across months and years of treatment. And, the rare tumors and retinoblastoma project, led by Dr. Luna- Fineman, will develop a more comprehensive program in retinoblastoma. She will participate in and lead clinical trials for children with retinoblastoma, provide more support to the families in education/learning, build adaptive programs for children who suffer blindness as a result of their cancer treatment, and better establish long-term follow-up programs.
