2nd Annual
Stronger Than You
Think Swim-A-Thon
We’re diving back in.
The second annual Stronger Than You Think Swim-A-Thon returns.
More details, registration, and ways to participate coming soon.
Two years ago, after losing my leg, I never imagined I’d run again. Let alone a marathon!
On November 2, 2025, I ran the New York City Marathon on a prosthetic running blade, surrounded by 12 family members and friends.
Together, we raised over $220,000 to help women and girls with limb differences receive the prosthetics they need to live freely and fully.
I crossed the finish line in 4:14, a reminder that strength, community, and purpose can carry you farther than you ever imagined.
Thank you to everyone who ran, donated, volunteered, and believed in this mission. I couldn’t have done this without you.
Our first-ever Stronger Than You Think Swim-A-Thon brought our community to the pool and far beyond it. We raised over $100,000, surpassing our original $50,000 goal by more than 200%, to support water safety, access to prosthetics, and the Paralympic movement.
Nearly 200 swimmers showed up to swim, 100 cheerers lined the deck with encouragement, and many more participated remotely from pools across the country.
Partner acknowledgment
Chelsea Piers Connecticut generously donated pool access and lifeguards, making this day possible.
