We are the 2024-2025 Pace Academy Aqua Knights, a small team of high schoolers from Atlanta, Georgia, who are invested in the fight against cancer. 

Hi, my name is Kate Cunningham, and along with Samantha Dubovy, I am captaining this year's Pace Academy Swim Across America team! We are both so excited about this year's event, and we really hope you'll join us by registering for it or supporting us with donations. 

Each and every one of us has been affected by cancer. We have seen firsthand the pain that this diagnosis brings to families, and we refuse to allow this devastation to continue. Although we do not have the capability ourselves to cure cancer in a lab (at least not until we are out of high school, that is), we want to help. We are going to swim in the name of each of our sponsors and gift-givers. All that we ask is for your donation to help us and help Swim Across America make waves against cancer. The researchers that our event funds are the next generation of cancer-fighting pioneers. They will make the scientific breakthroughs that lead to a cure. 

Please leave a gift on our page. No matter the size of the donation, we appreciate your contribution, and we thank you for your consideration, fellow Wavemaker.
