When Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy (ACGT) and Swim Across America (SAA) partnered in 2007, I felt compelled to get involved. My sister - Kimberly Lawrence Netter - had lost her battle with breast cancer in 2001 at the young age of 44, and participating in this event was a way for me to express the love and support that she had always shown to me growing up. I also knew that the collaboration between ACGT and SAA would produce great results in the battle against cancer by funding investigators doing early stage research using gene and cell therapies.

If you are able, please support me by making a gift. The researchers we are funding 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. Let's keep making waves!
