Thanks for checking out my page! I'm joining forces to raise money during this fantastic annual fundraiser that benefits the work of the Women's Cancer Resource Center. Since 1986, WCRC has provided programs and a network of supportive services for women with cancer in the Bay Area. My dear friend Beth, who many of you knew, used the services of WCRC as she fought her ten year battle against colon cancer. My sweet friend Leonard's late wife Rita benefitted from the support of staff and members from WCRC as she struggled with ovarian cancer. Like a swimming friend does when she fundraises for cancer, on October 2 I will wear a special cap with those two women's name on it, as well as the names of my dear husband, Len, who died of multiple myeloma and my wonderful friend Ruth Anne, who waged a valiant battle against glioblastoma. I will think about Christine and Susan who are fighting the fight. If you want me to add somebody's name on my cap, please let me know. I hope you will join me to raise funds for this amazing organization. Just click the "Join This Team" button. Thank you for your generous support of my Swim A Mile!

Hi everyone! Kristal here. This year, I will be participating in the Swim A Mile / Move A Mile for Women with Cancer, and I hope you'll make a contribution in support of my fundraiser! Read below for more information about my activities and to learn more about this amazing annual event that benefits the Women's Cancer Resource Center of Berkeley. ABOUT MY INVOLVEMENT WITH WCRC in 2019, I participated in this event for the first time and swam one mile (36 laps). In 2020, I started volunteering to help plan the Swim A Mile -- which became the Move A Mile, due to the pandemic closing down the pool. I fundraised, conducted interviews with other fundraisers, and helped with social media. Now in 2021, I volunteered for the planning committee again and I'm fundraising again! This year is also special for me because one of my close family members received a cancer diagnosis. Thankfully she was able to get it treated successfully during the summer and we were all extremely relieved and grateful for that. She definitely inspired me to volunteer and fundraise again. <3 2021 ACTIVITIES Because of personal time limitations and pool closures, I won't be swimming, but I have been hiking a bunch this summer. For my donors and anyone interested, I'm including information about a few new hikes I did and enjoyed! I used the All Trails app (free version), which is super awesome. Check out a few of my hiking highlights here! BONUS: I unearthed an audio project* I made in college and the subject was cigarettes and the cigarette industry, as a way of reflecting on my grandfather's lung cancer diagnosis. I'm happy to share that with you, too. It includes copyrighted material, so it's a private track on Soundcloud. Please don't share it with others or use it for any other purposes other than personal listening. Lung Cancer Project (9 min, 9 sec long) *shoutout to my spouse for helping me fix the file THANK YOU! This year, I'm upping my fundraising game by providing thank you gifts to anyone who donates to my page. This will be a small memento from my hikes (TBD, but most likely a magnet with a photo I took or a sketch I made). I am grateful for your generosity toward women with cancer and for my fundraising efforts, and I would love to say thank you with a small token of love.

Dear Family and Friends: I’m participating in Women’s Cancer Resource Center’s annual Swim A Mile / Move A Mile for Women with Cancer, and I hope you’ll make a contribution in support! I’ve had the honor and pleasure of being involved with WCRC as a volunteer and donor since 2017. I love knowing that I’m helping provide equitable access to cancer information, support, and care. Thanks to donors like you, WCRC’s programs and network of supportive services continue to grow and remain 100% free because they’re entirely funded by charitable giving. These include practical, emotional, and financial support and hands-on workshops for healthy cooking, movement, mindfulness, and creativity through art and writing. Last year, in honor of WCRC’s 25th anniversary, I succeeded in my challenge to swim 1 mile, walk/jog 2.5 miles, and bike 25 miles. Similarly, this year, I pledge to swim, walk/jog, and bike. I give to WCRC because I believe in its mission and work and also because, through my efforts, I honor family and friends who have persevered with cancer and family and friends who lost their lives to cancer, including a special friend who passed on in April. Will you join me this year in honor and/or memory of your loved ones, in support of WCRC’s work, and for the benefit of thousands of individuals in need? Donate here, text SWIM38 to 71777, or mail a check with my name in the memo to: Women's Cancer Resource Center2908 Ellsworth St.Berkeley, CA 94705 Since 1986, WCRC has transformed the lives of thousands of individuals with cancer.
