Story

***** NEW GOAL OF $5,000 *****

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello Friends & Family!

I’m incredibly excited to announce my selection into the inaugural Chicago River Swim, a charitable event hosted by the Chicagoland non-profit A Long Swim.

I'm one of 500 lucky individuals who will soon swim among the city's famous skyscrapers and under its iconic bridges for the first time in nearly 100 years! Chicago River Swim Returns For The First Time In Nearly A Century

Prior to participating on Sunday, September 21, 2025, I've committed to fundraise 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 of $5,000. 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!

Hope in motion,

Esteban

 

PS - Yes, I really am doing what loosely translates to the 'Sinky Wild Onion/Leek' (Chicago) River Swim! 🤣😜
