This is my 6th year participating in SAA, and I’m also serving as president on the Junior Advisory Board this year :)

Every year, over 400,000 kids are diagnosed with cancer worldwide and in the US, cancer is one of the leading causes of children’s deaths. And yet, childhood cancer receives less than 4% of federal funding dedicated to cancer research.

By donating, you’re helping fund 3 research projects focusing on leukemia (blood cancer) and osteosarcoma (bone  cancer) at the Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

Thank you for your support, and may your generosity help lead to a cancer-free world!

You can make a credit card donation here, or send a check to Swim Across America, c/o Nancy Peek, PO Box 1078, Tucker, GA 30085. Checks should be made out to Swim Across America but please include a note mentioning my name (Lillian Tong)  as the swimmer you are supporting!
