A few years ago my sister died suddenly. It was a really hard time for me and my family. As I grieved, I found support through a few different hospice organizations. This past year, my close friend's husband died after battling brain cancer. The hospice organization they worked with helped their family navigate his last weeks with care and compassion. I want to support this organization that helps others during challenging times.
Swimming is one of my passons. I have always loved swimming in oceans, pools, and lakes. I also love Ithaca and the Finger Lakes region. It is here that I attended Cornell University as an undergraduate, made amazing friends for life, and fell in love with my husband. Now that my daughter is attending Cornell and my husband and I are spending four months every year in Ithaca, "our happy place", I want to give back to the local community. When I am in town, I love volunteering at Loaves and Fishes of Tompkins County. I am excited that this year that I can join other women to swim across Cayuga Lake to raise money for Hospicare.
Please consider supporting me and donating to this great organization.
