THANK YOU!!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success. We raised $1,793 for the American Association for Cancer Research. But it isn't over yet! It would be great if we could get that up to $2,000, don't you think? We are still accepting donations, send us an email at swim_for_hope@yahoo.com and I'll let you know how you can help us out even more.

Thanks to everyone who came! It was a lot of fun! (:

I wanted to thank all the volunteers at the event, it was really neat seeing/meeting you all. And I'm so glad you helped me with this. Also, I need your addresses, please! You can send me an email or message on Facebook so the whole world doesn't have to see them.

Special thanks go out to Kathryn, Elizabeth, K.D. and Josh who helped me make this crazy dream of mine become a reality. I owe them so much, and I'm so glad they helped me. They're amazing people.

Thanks yet again to all those who donated, particularly the companies that donated money as well as prizes for our drawing. Also, thanks to everyone who let us post flyers.

It means a lot that so many people were willing to help me (to some, a stranger) try to make a small difference against the big problem that is cancer. We've all been touched, but I want to stop that trend. We have enough in common that we don't need cancer. So thank you so much!!

On another note, I'm interested in trying to do this again, next year. Unfortunately, I'll be gone to college, so I need somebody younger (or older) to help out. I'm not gonna start working on it for a while, so you have some time to think about it, but I'd really really like your help. (:
