Swimmer’s Commentary/Goal:
Help Support Me in the Fight Against Pediatric Cancer.

This year I’m attempting to raise $10,000 through Swim Across America in support of Dr.Julie Saba and Dr. Andrew Goldsby at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital and the important research they are doing to treat and cure pediatric cancer.   In addition to the October 3rd San Francisco Swim Across America event, I’m also attempting a few marathon swims, including the Lake Tahoe Vikingsholm.  Through my training and each of my swims, I remind myself that even if it gets hard, it is nothing compared to what cancer patients go through.

You can make a credit card donation here, or send a check to Swim Across America, c/o Anthony DuComb, 1684 8th Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94122.  Checks should be made out to Swim Across America but please include a note mentioning my name-Maya Merhige-as the swimmer you are supporting!
