Hello Friends and Family,
Once again, I’ll be joining in the festivities of Swim A Mile to raise funds for Women’s Cancer Resource Center (WCRC). This wonderful group supports women as they navigate care for cancer.
WCRC offers a wide range of services, at no charge. Some of these services include: Support Groups, Psychotherapy, Classes and Workshops, and Patient Navigation. Navigating our country’s health services is a huge task; doing this while dealing with a cancer diagnosis and related health issues can be overwhelming. WCRC helps women bridge the gap of understanding their needs and getting the correct support and services for their individual needs.
Every year, I bring the love and memories of friends and family who are fighting cancer to the swim. It is a time to send healing thoughts and power to those in need. Sometimes it is simply remembering those I have lost to this all-consuming disease. It is an emotional and fulfilling event!
Since 2021, I have swim in honor of my wonderful aunt, Linda McGrath, and my cherished friend and swim teammate, Susan Fuentes. Both of these women dug deep throughout their ongoing battles with cancer and various treatments. They held on to their positivity and strength as best they could. Sadly, both of these women passed away in the summer and fall of 2025 due to their cancers. I will be swimming in memory of Linda & Susan this May. My heart breaks for their battles, my losses, and the deep emotions their family members and loved ones are living with.
Please join me in celebrating these wonderful women,
Linda McGrath & Susan Fuentes,
as well as in memory and/or honoring any of your loved ones.
Sadly, cancer touches all of us.
I will be swimming on Sunday, May 10th,
and would like to have all donations collected by Friday, May 8th.
