Once again, I am participating in Swim Across America to support a phenomenal organization that makes an impact locally by providing funds for cancer research. I participate to honor my brave and hilarious mother who died from cancer. I participate because people I care about and admire are living with and fighting cancer. I participate because, as a nurse, I have stood at the bedside of people receiving cancer treatment in hopes of getting more time with their loved ones. 

As a giant bonus, I get to participate with my beloved teammates from my masters swim club. It's such a joy to swim with these bold, brilliant, hard-working, caring humans, people who want to make a positive impact in the lives of others. My daughter, Maggie, will also swim, not exactly with me, but likely way in front of me. She is a reminder to me why this is a worthy and important cause.
