In early October 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! This will be my 25rd year participating. This is a 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. All of WCRC's services are provided 100% free of charge -- and are 100% funded by charitable giving. You can donate here or send a check with my name in the memo to: The Women's Cancer Resource Center2908 Ellsworth StBerkeley, CA 94705Thanks in advance for your generous donation. It will directly support more than 2,500 people over the next year!

Once again this year, I am swimming a mile to help fund the wonderful work of the Women’s Cancer Resource Center, as they continue to support those who have the added burden of dealing with cancer during a pandemic. This will be my tenth year participating in this event. The first time I swam was many years ago, long before I knew I would ever face cancer myself (but with my sister in mind). Now that I’ve been through it twice—the challenges of chemo and radiation in 2007 for anal cancer and two surgeries and more radiation in 2015 for breast cancer—I have a far greater understanding and appreciation of the work that WCRC does in helping women with cancer every day. I swim because I know how lucky I was. The people who took care of me in 2007, and again in 2015—the doctors, nurses, technicians, counselors, work colleagues, friends, and family—made all the difference in the world to me. I want other women who face cancer to have all the support they need. And that is exactly what the Women's Cancer Resource Center provides! All of WCRC's services are provided 100% free of charge -- thanks to the generosity of donors like you!

Dearest Friends and Family, Another year has blessed me with the strength and heart to Swim A Mile for Women with Cancer. It’s no coincidence that this is my 18th Swim-A-Mile… a year in which I’ve been consistently reminded just how precious life is, and learned how to keep my heart open while standing next to baffling loss and grief. The number 18 symbolizes Life. That’s what I’m swimming for this year. Life going forward for grieving friends and loved ones, as they honor the lives of three beloved people who left us, too early, this year: Isaac Mitchell (17), Theresa Chavez (61), Dianne Germaine Wallace (53). My swim honors them. Life for those of us still here, whether grieving, celebrating another day, muddling through, remembering to appreciate a moment. And of course Life energy that courses through the Women’s Cancer Resource Center (WCRC) as they support thousands of women to find their strength, maintain their dignity, and know deep-down just how much they are loved. I return to the Swim-A-Mile each year because the WCRC truly does good work. I’ve watched both the event and the organization grow exponentially in the 18 years I’ve participated, and I know firsthand just how direct and useful donations are. The WCRC hosts a healthy (and growing!) number of programs for women with varying needs, interests, passions when it comes to living with (and hopefully without) cancer. All of them are directly possible because of your generosity. I hope you’ll sponsor me this year to support the WCRC’s biggest fundraising event. No amount is too small (or big!) – and if you can’t donate, not to worry. Please send the name(s) of anyone you’d like to add to my prayer list. A mile+ in the pool gives me a lot of time to count everyone in my blessings…! Thank you for supporting an organization so close to my heart. It’s worth every penny. You can donate by clicking HERE. With infinite gratitude and love, Kelly P.S. A brief note! All donations are tax-deductible. WCRC's programs and services are provided to more than 2,500 clients each year… 100% free of charge, and 100% funded by charitable giving. Each and every gift helps ease the burden for WCRC's clients in real and concrete ways: Stress Reduction: $25 can cover the costs of supplies for WCRC's cultural and healing arts program Good Nutrition: $50 can purchase organic ingredients for its cooking and nutrition program Improved Health: $100 allows support with navigation through cancer treatment, improving medical outcomes Community Engagement: $250 can pay for a comprehensive training for program volunteers Economic Security: $500 can provide emergency financial assistance for a client with cancer to pay for rent, utilities or groceries Stronger Families: $1,000 can fund six months of free therapy.

I make the yearly Swim in honor of my daughter, Meighan Maguire, who survived Hodgkins Lymphona and has gone on to raise two fabulous boys - Jager and Aiden Metz - in addition to earning her Ph. D, buildng a fabulous career and engaging in major volunteer efforts. This year I have a dear friend continuing her good fight against Lung Cancer - her name will also be on the Honor Wall; current advances in treatment have helped her maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. Others of you have asked me to post honors for other fighters as well. I also honor several friends who are cancer survivors - Joan Goldenberg, Kathryn Conway, Mareva Godfrey, Sandra Mitchell, and Sue Cooper. I also honor two other survivors - Mikki Aaronoff and Dottie Yeoman, long-time friends. Sadly in 2017 we lost my big brother Bill Holmes and Edith Byron (Alex’s mom) and had to add them to the list of several others who did not make it - including my Tante Jeannette Couly, Melissa's good friend Rory Gaynor Berk, Alex's Aunt Phyliss, Dori's mother Lucile Robbins, Dave's stepmom Anne Wiley and his aunt as well as our former tailgater Sally Wiley, Ed Murphy's friend Rosemary, and Sandy's friends John and Tina Discon. In 2019, we lost Jim Appel, Mark's Dad, and Doug Best, our Lair Tailgate 'Souper Chef'. In 2020, we lost another long-time tailgater to cancer, Craig Wiley, who is now reunited with his beloved Sally! If you have anyone you would like me to honor, please let me know - whether or not you make a contribution. All of my honorees have their names posted on the Recognition/Remembrance Wall and I will send you a picture of the card as it is posted on the wall. All donations are tax-deductible, and make a world of difference to WCRC's clients.

Through 2020, you helped many people; counting all nine swims, together we have raised close to $25,000 to support WCRC activities. To celebrate the 35th year of WCRC and the 26th Swim, I plan to bring that amount up well over $26,000 as my 35th Anniversary Challenge, hopefully having 35 donors and making this year's result at least $3,500!

Hello! Gary & I were planning on participating in this years Swim-A-Mile but have switched to the Move-A-Mile option. Our Move-A-Mile will include some swimming in our own pool - rather than the beautiful Mills Pool - but will also include walking and even some dancing and even stationary elliptical pedaling!

On October 2nd I will be participating in the Swim A Mile / Move A Mile for Women with Cancer. After missing last year I'm so excited to be back - and swimming with my Brother in Law, Paul, too! This will be my...8th? 9th year? I'm losing count! I originally found this swim years ago when looking for something motivational to do with all of my lap swimming, not knowing how affected I'd be personally, years later losing my own mom to cancer. My mom was always my biggest supporter of anything water & swim-related. She's the reason I became a life guard and then a certified swim instructor, ensuring super fun summers for years! Then I worked for her through college when she was the recreation & pool director at a YWCA in Philadelphia. I also followed my parents' steps and became certified in scuba diving through PADI. When I moved to San Francisco and took up swimming in the bay, my mom was always the first person I'd call to chat with on the drive back from the cold water and when I finally swam Alcatraz, she was so proud of me. Likewise for the open water Triathlons I've completed. She didn't quite understand my love of the cold water but she was there for it. And of course she was with me every time I swam for the WCRC. She was even in town and attended one year with me. I miss her so much, and I owe my love of the water to her (and my dad of course). And not only does swimming this mile make me happy, it brings so much support to this organization supporting women with cancer.

Hello, dear friends and relatives, On October 3, 2021, I am going to try and swim one mile for the Women’s Cancer Resource Center, but I need your help. This is a cause so dear to my heart since I am a 3 time breast cancer survivor. I want to try and raise as many tax deductible donations from you as possible and you have helped me so much in previous years. I am also going to swim this mile in memory of my wonderful mother, Hannah Schmutz, who went to Heaven last December 2020. Any of you who would like to give, please click as shown and help a wonderful cause. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you don’t want to charge this, you can send me a check to my home and I will take it to WCRC so all is safe.
