2023 Women Swimmin' for Hospicare

Women Swimmin' for Hospicare is a community event that raises money for Hospicare & Palliative Care Services.

Hi Everyone! 

This year I'll be participating in Women Swimmin' for Ithaca Hospicare to raise much-needed funds for our local hospice facility. With over 300 other women, I'll be swimming 1.2 miles across Cayuga Lake on August 12th as part of this event. The funds raised through Women' Swimming have a huge impact on the resources available for Hospicare to provide compassionate end-of-life care. Among the activities this money supports are:

- Providing vital medications to ease pain and manage symptoms 

- Providing specialized medical equipment so patients can stay in their own homes

- Training more volunteers to deliver complementary therapies to enhance comfort and peace

- Offering grief counseling sessions

- Continuing to provide intensive round-the-clock care at the Hospicare residence for patients who need more care than they can receive in their own homes.

If you can, please join me in supporting this work by making a donation on my fundraising page - you’ll find a link below. I hope you'll consider making a gift. 

Thanks for your consideration!

Andrea
