In our lifetime, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer, unfortunately some of them being children. We have current Worldpay and FIS colleagues battling, like Brenda Finn and the amazing Tom Brown, and unfortunately have also lost some past team members like Brant Schelhaas. We also know children of colleagues whose lives have been impacted, both by losing a parent like Brant, or because they have had their own fight against cancer, including both Tom Brown and Mic McGrath's sons. And Mic's wife has recently been fighting her own battle, and we hope the best for her.
As a team, we have once again joined the Swim Across America community so that, together, we can help change these stories and “Make Waves to Fight Cancer”. Founded in 1987, Swim Across America has raised more than $115 million in the fight against cancer, granting funds to doctors and researchers who implemented clinical trials for several well-known FDA-approved immunotherapy drugs now providing promising results, such as OPDIVO, TECENTRIQ, YERVOY & KEYTRUDA.

If you are able, please support us by making a gift donation, or registering as part of our team and sharing your own story and helping fundraise. Land and water volunteers are also welcome to register to support the events and help fundraise (optional).
Any amount is appreciated, and it helps the researchers we are funding that are in our community and are the next generation of cancer pioneers. Without Swim Across America early-stage funding, they are not able to conduct trials that can lead to breakthroughs that can save lives. Thank you for helping make an impact in the fight to find a cure!
