The 9th Annual June 2015 Swim Across America Greenwich-Stamford Event for ACGT in June, made a splash from Long Island Sound to pools throughout the Greenwich-Stamford, Connecticut, area. This year’s event featured a record number of swimmers and swim teams, and a small army of volunteers, all honoring someone impacted by cancer, and inspired by new chairs Michele Graham and Lorrie Lorenz, both mothers of teenage cancer survivors. The $350K+ raised by the Swim will fund cancer studies by three ACGT Investigators developing innovative cell and gene therapies leading to clinical trials: Dr. Arnob Banerjee, University of Maryland School of Medicine; Dr. John Bell, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute; and Dr. Fan Yang, Stamford School of Medicine.
Thanks Swim Across America for your steadfast support for cancer research and thanks to our honorary chairs, volunteers and participants. There is still time to donate to this inspiring cause by visiting swimacrossamerica.org/greenwich or donating directly to ACGT. Next year is the 10th annual Swim Across America Greenwich-Stamford Swim that will benefit ACGT, so we hope you can join us and make it the best year yet!
Save the Date for the 10th Annual Greenwich-Stamford Swim benefiting ACGT: June 25, 2016.
