Save The Bay Swim 2024: Cheryl Hatch

Keith Ryan poses for a portrait at the finish of the 2019 Save the Bay swim. Keith died on June 3, 2023. On his prayer card, shown above, he promised us: "I will always be with you. If you go for a swim, I am stroking right beside you."

Hello friends, family and ocean lovers:

Our team this year is named #withkeith. Our dear friend and fellow swimmer Keith Ryan received his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in July 2020. Keith made his goal to see his son, Michael, graduate from George Washington University on May 19 and 21, 2023, from George Washington University. Keith lived to see Michael graduate and died on Saturday, June 3, 2023.

We swim in love and support of Keith and his family. #withkeith

The swim is Save The Bay’s largest annual fundraiser, serving as a critical support to STB's efforts to protect and restore the Narragansett Bay region.

Whatever you can give will help. I greatly appreciate your support--and it's tax-deductible.

Life moves swiftly, my friends. Make time to enjoy all your blessings: family, friends, the beauty of nature, our gorgeous shores and waters.

Thank you. Cheers,

Cheryl
