Thanks to organizations funding research like Swim Across America, science is making great strides to battle this terrible disease. However, at the highest level these numbers are still staggering.
In 2024, 2,001,140 new cancer cases and 611,720 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States. Cancer is the second‐leading cause of death in the United States overall and the leading cause among people younger than 85 years.
For me, it's more than just a bunch of abstract statistics, it's factual, it's personal. Cancer runs in my extended family. Impacting my siblings, cousins, aunts & uncles, grandparents. Environment, genetics, lifestyle all contribute.... It's pervasive and too much to ignore. Change of diet and lifestyle can only do so much.
We all have to do something about it.
Founded in 1987, Swim Across America has hosted charity swims with one goal: to raise money for innovative cancer research that would lead to breakthrough treatments and therapies. Since then, Swim Across America has raised over $100M to fund the next generation of pioneers in oncology and cancer-support care.
I joined Swim Across America because I believe in their mission and want to help give more families hope. If you are able, please support me by making a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal.
Thank you for helping me #MakeWavesToFightCancer.
