2025 Program Goals

When I signed up for my first Cantoo Swim program in 2019, I had one clear goal - work at overcoming my fear of ocean swimming.  And as I learned more about the beach and ocean from the coaches and mentors and other participants, I began to find so much joy in open water swimming and have swum in numerous races in the past few years with the fast friends made during that first program.

I'm supporting cancer research with Can Too Foundation.

1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. This means that someone we love has, or will have to battle cancer, and that's a statistic that needs to change. 

So I asked myself, "what can I do to help?" That's where the Can Too Foundation comes in. Can Too provides professionally coached training programs for participants of any fitness level to run and swim their way to a healthier lifestyle and a cancer-free world. 

In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care, and control of cancer. Since 2005, Can Too Foundation has trained over 22,000 participants and raised over $30,000,000 to invest in over 150 cancer research grants.

It would be fantastic if you could sponsor me, or even better join me in a program!

Thank you for your support!
