I am joining 300 other female swimmers to traverse the 2 km width of Lake Cayuga in Ithaca NY to raise money for Hospice.
Hospice is an organization that provides support to patients in palliative care. Their support includes assistance filling out medical forms, relief for family caregivers, nurse visits to monitor vitals and provide wound care, and connection to religious and spiritual services.
I am participating in this event as part of achieving my two personal goals for the year: increase my fitness and do good in the world! Check out my Instagram profile at @doodledeborah for a video about my goals.
