I’m Swimming 5 Miles for American Cancer Society

I’m swimming 5 miles to help the American Cancer Society (ACS). As I get older and more of the people who are near and dear to me are affected by cancer either as warriors or through their own loved ones, I realize importance of contributing toward the fight. Now more than ever, contributions to non-profits, such as ACS, are vital now that major funding to cancer research may be in limbo. ACS not only supports cancer research, but also programs for those battling cancer, advocacy for laws that help protect funding not just for research, but prevention, early detection, and treatment for all. Below I linked information on where your donations go and how they help the cause. If you’re able, I urge you to consider donating. Thank you!
