Women Swimmin' for Hospicare

I have volunteered at Women's Swimmin' for many years. From monitoring the waste cans (napkins are not compostable but utensils are, lol) to organizing pod bag pickup, I have always admired the swimmers and their ability to achieve such a swim. I love water, I love being at the ocean and floating in the lake, I love an outdoor pool. But, I have never been someone who loves lap swimming or taking off in a freestyle for miles. This year I challenged myself to strengthen my swimming skills and set a goal to complete the 1.2 mile swim across Cayuga Lake to raise money for Hospicare.

I work with a lot of Cornell students who aspire to be healthcare professionals. Many of them volunteer with Hospicare and the impact this experience has on them is great. It takes a special kind of person to sit in compassion with an individual at the end of their lives, to provide stability and unconditional love for grieving families, all while asking for nothing in return is the best part of humanity. I am looking forward to supporting the most important work we can do for our fellow humans by raising money for this cause.
