Hello!  

Here we are again!  I’m gearing up for my 11th Save the Bay Swim!  While that is a year past my 10 year goal, this year is even more monumental for the Save the Bay organization.  This year marks 50 years (!) of this exciting event!  That’s FIFTY YEARS of fundraising for environmental advocacy, research, community activities and education, beach cleanup, bay defense, and capacity investments.

I am so proud to be a part of this effort. The Save the Bay Swim is an annual fundraising event that challenges hundreds of skilled athletes to swim 2 miles in open water. The nonprofit organization’s flagship fundraiser will take place this year on Saturday, August 8, 2026, starting at the Naval War College in Newport and finishing in Jamestown’s Potter Cove. Over the years I have the financial and emotional support of my friends and family.  I’ve had the pleasure of relying on my dad, my husband and my son as kayaker (guides/shark protection) as I make my way across the Bay.  This year STELLA will be my partner, kayaking the two miles and keeping me on track. 

I am asking you to help by supporting my fundraising efforts with a donation. Your tax-deductible gift means a lot to my fundraising efforts for an organization that is important to me!

You can donate online through this site, or if you prefer, you can also send your gift as a check made out ot Save the Bay to the address below.  Put a note with my name, along with your check.
