I Did It! 100 Miles in 30 Days!

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to officially share that I completed my 100-mile swimming challenge in just 30 days! It was tough, but every lap reminded me why I started this journey. This challenge pushed me in ways I didn’t expect, and crossing that final mile felt incredibly meaningful.

One of the best moments was having my brother there to celebrate with me and award me a medal for finishing the challenge — a moment I’ll never forget.

Swimming all those miles gave me a lot of time to reflect on the people who inspire me. My grandmother, who passed away from an aggressive cancer, was on my mind every single day. Her strength reminds me why this fight matters.

Why I’m Continuing the Fundraiser

Even though the challenge is complete, my mission isn’t over. With the encouragement of so many supporters, I’ve decided to continue this fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

I’m keeping it going because cancer continues to impact families like mine, and supporting the ACS means funding critical research, patient support, and the hope for cures. If swimming can help even one person facing this battle, then I want to keep going.

How You Can Help (Even Without Donating!)

If you can’t donate right now, a simple share can make a huge difference. Sharing the fundraiser with friends, family, or on social media helps new people find it — and each new share can spark the next donation.

Exciting Fundraising Event — December 2nd in NYC!

I’m also thrilled to share that I’ll be hosting a skincare + clothing fundraising event with rag&bone at their Madison Avenue flagship store in NYC tomorrow, December 2nd from 3–6:30 PM to support my GoFundMe Swim for the American Cancer Society! We’ll have amazing skincare and hair-growth products available — 100% of proceeds from sunscreens, moisturizers, and more will go directly to my GoFundMe/ACS fundraiser.

rag&bone will also be donating 15% of all store sales during the event directly to the American Cancer Society. And they will be extending their big Black Friday savings of 25% off to everyone who shops in the store. Even if you can't make it in person, you can call the store to place your order, [phone redacted], and they will give you the 25% off, ship your items and contribute to my fundraiser....let them know you're calling as a friend of Caroline and GoFundMe.
