READY, SET, SPLASH!
I am SWIMMING the Hudson River to STOP HUNGER...
Native Americans named the Hudson, “Muhheakantuck”, meaning, “the river that flows two ways” But there is no two ways when it comes to food needs.
On September 8, 2024, 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. (As a diehard Washington Irving fan- so this could be my Knickerbocker Swim)
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.
Please give what you can - and I will make you proud- in the Muhheakantuck, the River that Runs Two Ways
