I'm raising money to support St. Vincent's SWIM Across the Sound and individuals in their personal fight against cancer. Can I count on your help with a donation? In place of the official SAS, I am doing the 5k (3.1-mile) swim across Lake George in upper NY state on Aug. 20. Although you have until that date to support my swim, for the official SAS fund-raising competition , you need to have our donation in by Aug. 6.
