On Saturday, August 10th, 17 members of the West Neck Pod will be participating in the 2013 "Sound-to-Cove" Swim Across America to raise money for local cancer research and support organizations like Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Fighting Chance, Children’s Hospital at
Montefiore, Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, and Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory. These organizations are performing
cutting-edge research and providing essential services that are improving the
longevity and quality of life for cancer patients and their families in our
community. Fifteen members of our Team will be swimming the 5K distance (3.1 miles) in Long Island Sound, with one member swimming 1 mile and another kayaking alongside us. Like many Long Islanders, most of us have lost far
too many friends, family members, co-workers and colleagues to this disease, and
we have all suffered the stress and uncertainty as those we love underwent
surgery and treatment for cancer. This fight against cancer is personal
for all of us – and our "Sound-to-Cove" swim is dedicated to the memory of those we love who
have lost their battle with cancer, and in honor of those whose courageous
struggle continues. So many of us in the Pod-family have been touched by cancer -- including several of our teammates -- and probably you have, too...You, too, can participate in the 2013 "Sound-to-Cove" Swim Across America by supporting Team West Neck Pod and this cause by donating as generously as you can....Thank you for your support -- See you in the Salt! -- Carol Moore, Captain, "Team West Neck Pod"Friday, August 9, 2013
