In 2022 I will be swimming a mile in the Swim Across America St. Louis Open Water Event at Innsbrook Resort as well as a mile in the SAA Open Water Swim on Nantucket Island. I swim in honor of those who have fought, or are fighting, this insidious disease and in memory of the dear friends I have lost to it.

If you are not currently supporting another member of Team St. Louis in this challenge, I ask you to consider supporting me in this effort to fund cutting edge research right here at Siteman Cancer Center. SAA St. Louis has raised almost $1,000,000 for this cause since its first event six years ago, and is coming off its most successful year yet. All contributions stay local and every dollar raised attracts 3 or more additional dollars in new funding.

Please help us Make Waves Against Cancer by making a tax free contribution to support the event. Better yet, join us in the fun! Even if you're not a swimmer, you can participate virtually with the activity of your choice through "SAA My Way" and be recognized along with all the other participants. Learn more here: swimacrossamerica.org/SAA_MY_WAY

Your contribution really does make a difference. SAA has played a major role in clinical funding of all four FDA approved immunotherapy drugs, which continues to revolutionize cancer treatment....but there is much more to do. Thank you for your generosity and may it someday soon lead to a cancer-free world!
