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. As a kid, I was a competitive swimmer and participated annually in Swim Across America, a fundraiser for cancer research where I would swim a mile in a day. Even for a 10 year old it was exhausting but massively rewarding. Now that I live near a pool, I wanted to use the opportunity to give back and raise money for this cause. In December I lost my close friend, Nora, to cancer and want to do this 5 mile swim in her honor. Please consider donating because every little bit helps. Thank you for your support!
