Welcome to My Personal Page
Hello friends and family!
This will be my eighth year participating in Seattle's Swim Across America. I am glad to report that I remain cancer free. I have gotten more involved in the planning of the event, hence heard from some of the researchers who expressed how much they appreciate the efforts of the swimmers, volunteers and donors. The money raised will fund research into the treatment and cure for many forms of cancer. This year I will again swim honoring cancer survivors in my life - Anni (my wife), Billie Black (my mom), Megan Zilz (my sister-in-law) and Jennifer Jones (my niece).
I will swim .5 miles at the actual event on Saturday, September 7. On Sunday, September 8, I will again join my swimmer friends who are members of our Mercer Island Beach Club team, and we will swim around Mercer Island, relay style, for a total of approximately 14 miles. Last year our team raised over $50,000 contributing to the total $500K that was raised by the event. We hope to exceed that amount this year. Please contribute any amount you feel appropriate. And THANK YOU!
Lenny
