Please Help Me "Make Waves to Fight Cancer!"

Join me and Swim Across America to support breakthroughs in cancer research!

The SWIM ACROSS AMERICA organization plays a crucial role in increasing the number of cancer survivors by awarding grants for research that would have previously been left unfunded. One such SAA-funded lab developed KEYTRUDA, the immunotherapy treatment that my mother-in-law, Susan, underwent to successfully fight Stage 4 colon cancer; I am beyond thankful that she is now CANCER-FREE!

Last year, SAA began a partnership with the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, and we created our 1st Annual SAA-Nashville fundraiser event. Participants from all over TN raised approximately $60,000, which is now funding research at a specifically selected VICC lab. 2023 SAA-Nashville is our 2nd annual event, and our goal is to raise over $75,000 for VICC.

So far, four promising cancer therapies in the US were started with seed money from SAA fundraising; a statistic that allows us hope that we are on our way to eradicating cancer!

Please consider a donation on my behalf to "make waves to fight cancer!"

With heartfelt thanks,

:) Chris
