WHAT: I am organizing this Swim Across America event in the hope that we will soon find cures for all the types of cancers that affect humans and animals.
I doubt there are any families who have not been impacted in one way or another from this dreadful disease. We have one teenage girl who lives in our Palencia community who is very bravely battling brain cancer. We are teaming up with Swim Across America so that together, we can make a difference.
