Can swimming cure cancer?
Swim Across America - Chicago is raising $250,000 for early-stage cancer research and clinical trials at Rush University Cancer Center in Chicago.
The swim is August 4th, 2012 and is held at Ohio Street beach. It offers distances from .5 to 3 miles. This is the exact same course as Big Shoulders, so it can be a great trial run!
If you've been touched by cancer, this is an amazing way to make difference! If you're not familiar with SAA, and would like to get a feel for what it's all about, go to www.swimacrossamerica.org, and scroll down to the 25th anniversary video. It's well worth 4 minutes of your time.

This is the same week as Lolapalooza, so it's a great weekend to take a weekend trip to Chicago.
I hope to see you there!
