Allison Randall- My Story
In 2019, I had the opportunity to participate in Swim Across America for the first time, and I loved it. I swam 1/2 mile and raised $500. After that day, I fell in love with this event and came back each year. This year I am back for my 5 swim with SAA and I am trying to beat my previous fundraising record! I will be swimming 2 miles open water at Belle Isle. In our lifetime, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer. I started swimming with Swim Across America 5 years ago so some day in my lifetime, that might change. One thing I love about Swim Across America is that all donations go to a local cancer research center near that swim. All of the money that I raise will go to the University of Michigan’s Health Rogel Cancer Center. I challenge you to give up 1 night out to dinner to support cancer research through Swim Across America.
