Hello my friend,

Again this July my wife and I will help host the annual Swim Across America pool swim at Orienta Beach Club. I will complete my one mile pool/open water swim. Then we both volunteer for the Long Island Sound open water swim where over 500 swimmers will swim up to 10,000 Meters to support the SAA fight! It is an awesome and inspiring event! I will be kayaking for my son who is swimming a 5000 meter swim in open water swim.

Swim Across America is now 32 years old. My first swim was 1 mile in 1994 as part of a relay in the open water swim in LIS. I have lost family members and numerous friends to cancer, but so many more friends and family are survivors!!, and that is awesome.

Swim Across America has its own research lab as part of the MSK Cancer Center here in Manhattan. The SAA lab along with other research labs at Memorial Sloan Kettering were at the forefront of discovering Immuno-therapy which has so greatly impacted the fight against cancer. I have visited the lab in Manhattan and it is amazing. I met the dedicated team of researchers. I am extremely proud to be a part of this organization. They need our support. They are saving lives...one might be someone close to you!!

I need you to help! Please join me in this fight by making an online donation today! $1 or $1000 -- please do what you can! If you own or can influence your company or organization to donate, please do, it will go a long way!! Thank you for your help in reaching and exceeding my goal!

You can make a credit card donation here, or send a check to Swim Across America, PO Box 217, Larchmont, NY 10538. Checks should be made out to Swim Across America... but please include a note mentioning my name as the swimmer you are supporting!

Thanks again for your support! I will swim thinking of you all and your help!!
