Kerri Ahern - Team Poppy
We started Team Poppy in 2006 when my dad was diagnosed with lymphoma and have swum every year since. We have raised over $100,000 in that time. This year we're swimming in honor of multiple cancer survivors. Please see the Team Poppy page (http://www.swimacrossamerica.org/site/TR/OpenWater/LongIslandSound?team_id=20247&pg=team&fr_id=4754) for their stories.
Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to the goal of finding a cure or at least more effective treatments for cancer.
Proceeds from SAA - LIS will be donated to the Cancer Support Team, the Tommy Palazzo Fellowship for Columbia University and Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital at New York - Presbyterian, The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center's Swim Across America and DeMatteo Research Laboratories, and United Hospice of Clarkstown. All very worthy beneficiaries I think you'll agree.
Thank you for your continued support!
