As captain of our MIBC team, I'm so excited that our entire swim team has the opportunity to participate in SAA this year and experience a way to give back to the community through sport. It's a win for everyone.

The funds we raise for Swim Across America will go directly to doctors and researchers at Fred Hutch to do groundbreaking research. 

I'm personally swimming in honor of all of those that have battled cancer, are battling cancer and for those that will one day battle cancer. My very first swim coach is a cancer survivor. One of my very best friends is a cancer survivor. One of my dear friends and fellow masters swimmers just finished his treatment. The list goes on and on. Let's keep fighting and giving others the courage to fight. 

Go Team MIBC and thanks for joining me here.
