Swim Across America comes to Rhode Island

from NEM’er Jacki Hirsty…

The best thing Rhode Island has going for it is its beaches. I am inviting all New England Masters, and anyone reading this, to enjoy a day at one of the most popular beaches while doing something worthwhile. September 11, 2010 is the inaugural Rhode Island event of Swim Across America at Roger Wheeler Park in Narragansett Bay. Swim Across America, Inc., [SAA] is dedicated to raising money and awareness for cancer research, and, as such, this swim will include swimmers of all ages and skill levels to benefit cancer research, prevention and treatment at Women and Infants Hospital. Individuals, or teams, can also swim in the ‘Memory’ of family or friends that have lost their battle with cancer, or to ‘Honor’ those loved ones that courageously continue their battle with this terrible disease. I have joined Team Win Wilson to honor our own masters swimming legend in his ongoing battle and invite all of you to join also or to register individually. DO SOME GOOD DOING WHAT YOU LOVE.

Join Olympian Rowdy Gaines, and me, Jacki Hirsty (chicken-in-the-sea, so I need lots of company) , in the 1/2 mile or 1 mile open water swim on September 11, 2010. See all the information, register, donate or volunteer at: http://www.swimacrossamerica.org/Page.aspx?pid=884. Information form can be directly downloaded here.
