Why: After a 4 year pause, I've decided it's finally time to attempt another swim in memory of my grandma. I am still thoroughly invested in raising money for this awful disease. I've seen first hand how it affects the person with it, and the hard working caregivers. I am fully committed to dedicating my time, energy, and platform to raising meaningful funds and awareness to support Alzheimer’s research. I believe that increased research funding is essential to improve treatments, advance early detection, and ultimately find a cure.
I am stronger than ever in the pool, and have completed multiple Olympic distance triathlons to build my endurance.
