Dear friends and family,

I am again swimming with a purpose to raise money for Swim Across America. 

I am swimming to honor the faith and courage of two incredible men who both fought pancreatic cancer—Dave Braun and Jerry “Dr. K” Kuroghlian. This is a way to give thanks for—and celebrate—these wonderful men in all the roles in which they have touched our lives, as husbands, fathers, grandfathers, uncles, friends, teachers, and mentors as Dave and Jerry were—and remain—to all of us.

I want to thank you for helping me raise over $2,750—already exceeding my goal!  This is just one small way to give thanks for—and celebrate—these wonderful men in all the roles in which they have touched our lives. Over these three years, together we have raised nearly $10,000—and the event over $700,000! I am so humbled by and grateful for your continued support. Maybe some of these dollars will be the ones that help fund a cure. 

Thank you for joining me in raising money and honoring Dave and Jerry. We miss the both every day.

With love and appreciation,

Jim
