Swim for Em!

Emily Noelle Nichols
This past January, Emily Nichols passed away at age 21 after a very long, hard fight with Cycstic Fibrosis. Ask anyone who knew her and they could give you a million reasons why Emily was the most incredible person they know.  There is no doubt anyone who met Em fell in love! Emily leaves behind her dad Chad, her mom Monica,  brother Chase, who is also fighting cycstic fibrosis, and countless friends. I am just one that is lucky enough to call Em a friend.

The Campaign!
Em has had an everlasting affect on my life, and I have decided to help continue her fight in my own effort.  I am working with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis in my campaign, "Swim for Em".  

My name is Robby Palmese. Ive been a close friend of Em's for about 5 years. I was a swimmer my whole life and known by Em to always go above and beyond in everything. I have always enjoyed endurance sports, from triathlons, to ultra running to marathon swimming. It seems only fitting that I push myself to do something extrodinary to respresent Em and all those fighting cycstic fibrosis. I will be swimming the Catalina Channel in Southern California. At 21 miles long, the swim will respresent the 21 years Em fought Cystic Fibrosis. This, without a doubt, will be the hardest thing I have ever done. I will encounter several challenges throughout the swim, from hypothermia to night swmming, and currents to emotions. The swim requires a few things, a guide pilot boat and a fee for an official recording by the Catalina Channel Swimming Federation. The funds raised on this page will be a huge help for me to afford these expenses and continue Em's fight.  Any and all support is much appreciated and I know Em would be amped to see this happen!
Lastly, please share with friends and family, and spread the word to help me reach my goal!

Thank you so much for anything you can give. All donations of any amount are welcome! I know Em will love seeing any suport I can get and I will be grateful!

Thank you again!
Breathe Easy!

In Loving Memory
