I’m swimming 5 miles to help the American Cancer Society (ACS) fight for a world without cancer. This is a very meaningful cause to me. ACS holds top ratings from Charity Navigator, the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance, and Candid. So give with confidence! Please consider donating because every little bit helps. Thank you for your support!

I was inspired to do this challenge by the cuts to medical research under this administration and the loss of my brother, Geoff Pinkerton, to esophageal cancer in 2019.
