I’m incredibly excited to join the inaugural Chicago River Swim, a charitable event hosted by the Chicagoland non-profit A Long Swim. I'm one of 500 lucky swimmers who will soon swim among the city's famous skyscrapers and under its iconic bridges for the first time in nearly 100 years!   I plan to swim 2 glorious miles- it will take about an hour.  

Prior to participating on Sunday, September 21, 2025, I've committed to raise funds on behalf of the event's two beneficiaries: supporting collaborative ALS research and providing swim lessons for Chicago's underprivileged youth.

I'd be honored if you could make a contribution, of any amount, toward my fundraising goal. Further, if you are as inspired as I am, please share this with your network and plan to witness me conquer the Chicago River on Sunday morning, September 21!

Thanks very much.
