You have given hope and inspiration to many, including me!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 41yrs old and have dealt with challenges with mental illness and addiction.
I have swam the Chesapeake Bay Swim in Maryland 3x and completed it twice. Once without a wetsuit and once last year with a wetsuit in 2023.
i hope to train for a longer distance swim in the future. Thank you for your commitment to help raise money for cancer research. That’s awesome!
I hope to train for the Catalina island swim soon. I know it may take a great deal of training, but, I’m willing to give it my best shot to completing it. I know it takes years of training. I know in my mind that I can do it. The mind is a miraculous thing. Congrats!!
