I recently accepted the challenge to swim 2.0 miles across the Narragansett Bay to raise funds and awareness in support of Save The Bay's mission to protect and improve Narragansett Bay on Saturday, July 19, 2025.

I completed the swim in 2012 and 2013 and am challenging myself again to battle the depths and breadth of this challenging physical event to help protect our backyard.

The Swim is Save The Bay’s largest, and most iconic, annual fundraiser. For 47 years, athletes and advocates have been inspired to tackle a two-mile, open-water swim across Narragansett Bay, raising both funds and awareness for Save The Bay’s mission to protect and improve Narragansett Bay. As a fundraiser, the Swim directly supports Save The Bay’s educational programs, our advocacy efforts, and our habitat restoration efforts. As a community event, the Swim engages hundreds of swimmers, kayakers and volunteers in a celebration of the recreational benefits of Narragansett Bay.

Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up! I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress. $25 is a huge help, any amount will make a difference.

Advocacy and Policy

Since Save The Bay's founding in 1970, Save The Bay has become known for our fierce advocacy. We champion the right of all people to enjoy Narragansett Bay with peace of mind and stand against coastal activities, actions and developments that diminish public access to the Bay. As a science-driven organization, we prize objectivity with a clear-eye view of the regional environmental landscape and laser focus on Narragansett Bay and its watershed.

Habitat Restoration & Adaptation

Protecting and improving Narragansett Bay means protecting and preserving all parts of the Narragansett Bay ecosystem—from coastal salt marshes, beaches and dunes, to upland forests, rivers and streams, to urban ponds and waterways, to aquatic habitats such as eelgrass, mud flats and shellfish beds. All of these critical areas provide important habitats, protect drinking water, and act as natural filters and nurseries for the Bay.

Education & Community Outreach

The ongoing success of our efforts to protect and improve Narragansett depends on the next generations of Bay stewards who will carry our work forward, understanding the threats that Narragansett Bay faces, the value of the Bay to our lifestyles and livelihoods, and their own role in protecting it. Connecting students and communities to Narragansett Bay has been a cornerstone of our efforts since the 1980s

Community Support & Engagement

At the heart of all we do is the support of the thousands of members, donors, volunteers and advocates who share in our efforts in a variety of ways. More than 4,000 volunteers and interns every year help us: in the office, in the field, on our beaches, on the water, and in so many other ways. Citizen scientist volunteers help us document water pollution conditions around the Bay, record high tide and storm surge events, monitor and count seals, and clean up trash from our beaches.

Thank you so much for supporting my efforts to raise awareness and funds for Save The Bay!
