On September 10, 2023, I will be challenging myself in a three mile swim across the Hudson River. The Lighthouse Swim, Inc will begin in Nyack, NY and exit in Sleepy Hollow, NY.
The Lighthouse Swim, Inc is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness of the beautiful Hudson River while supporting our community and raising funds in support of local charities.
This year, The Lighthouse Swim will be donating primarily to Feeding Westchester which is a member of Feeding America, the nationwide nonprofit network of more than 200 food banks serving every state in the United States. Feeding Westchester is proud to be serving nearly 220,000 people each month in our community.
Hunger is here in Westchester County. Children and adults from all walks of life go hungry in every community. Fixed expenses like rent, childcare, and groceries are often the first expenses to be reduced.
What most don't know about me is that almost 30 years ago I was in need and took advantage of a program like this for my basic food necessities when I first moved to NYC.... The work this group does is invaluable to the silent recipients, like I was, for help when desperately needed. This is a great cause and please do support it.
Also, I am a new swimmer (ish) and this will be my longest "timed" distance. Thank you!
