Survivor Spotlight! Meet Linda Witter, a 20 year cervical cancer survivor diagnosed and treated in 2005. Hear her uplifting story and learn how you can give hope to others through advocacy.
Linda served as the head coach of The Ohio State University synchronized (artistic) swimming coach from 1996-2012 (17 seasons - 671-18 record.) During that time, she led the program to 11 U.S. Collegiate titles and 32 event titles. She coached 125 All-American student-athletes and was named Coach of the Year eight times in her 17 years at the helm.
