Women Swimmin' for Hospicare is a great event I've been lucky enough to swim in twice, and witness for multiple years before that.
Hospicare is important to me because both of my paternal grandparents were in Hospicare or Hospice at the end of their lives. They were treated with such immense care, tenderness, and respect, and I want Hospicare to be able to provide that to others.
I swam competitively starting in elementary school and going through college. My grandparents attended almost every single competition of mine, and I'm so grateful to carry them in my heart whenever I swim now. Being able to swim in the lake they loved and in an event by an organization that made their last days of life comfortable is an honor.
I'm looking forward to my third swim across Cayuga lake, and sharing the experience with all the incredible women who be participating! If you're able to make a donation to my fundraiser, thank you, it really means so much.
Thank you all so much for your support, I can't wait for swim number 3, and good luck to all my fellow swimmers!
