2023 Women Swimmin' for Hospicare

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

I am dedicating this year's swim to the memory of my aunt, Yaira Shapiro.

I am participating in this event for the fourth time, swimming 1.2 miles across Cayuga Lake to raise much-needed funds for Hospicare & Palliative Care services to help them:

-Provide vital medications to ease pain and manage symptoms 

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

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

- Offer grief counseling sessions

- Continue 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 their work by making a donation on my fundraising page - you’ll find a link below. I hope you'll consider making a gift.
