Swim 5 Miles for American Cancer Society - Donate!

In July, I’m swimming 5(+) miles to help raise money for the American Cancer Society (ACS) . I was a serious swimmer for nearly half of my life, but have been retired from the pool for a decade. AND NOW I’m making my chlorine comeback because cancer is very prevalent in my family, so this cause will always be meaningful to me. Also because of the administration’s cut to 40% of National Institute of Health (NIH) research grants, medical research will rely more heavily upon private and charitable fund raising, of which the ACS is a significant contributor.

ALSO I will be matching 50% of all donations and donating that amount to Planned Parenthood as their funding is also under attack. I know there are thousands of worthy causes in the world to monetarily support right now, but if cancer research and accessible health care are some of the things on your mind lately, consider donating whatever you want to spare. Life is madness right now, so thank you for your support and I’ll get swimming!
