High School Students Plan Fundraising Swim for Cancer Support
Established in 2012, Swim Across America – Tampa Bay has raised more than $2.2 million for its local beneficiaries, including Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. Each year, the event proudly hosts more than 250 swimmers, volunteers, spectators and supporters, as well as Olympic swimmers for this inspiring community swim.
Swim Across America – Tampa Bay funding is also helping to bring new hope to children and families facing tough cancer diagnoses by advancing promising pediatric immunotherapy research. Dr. Jonathan Metts, a pediatric hematology oncologist at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in Tampa, in partnership with Moffitt Cancer Center, is the first to bring a promising adult trial into the pediatric setting. Supported by Swim Across America since its pre-clinical phase, the 100% philanthropically funded study has enrolled five pediatric patients with very limited remaining treatment options. Four patients have experienced remarkable responses — early results that exceeded expectations for an early phase study and are already helping refine the treatment for future patients.
“This Swim Across America funded research is helping to expand what is possible for these patients – especially when standard therapy options fall short,” noted Dr. Metts. Only 4% of NIH funding is dedicated to pediatric cancer research, so philanthropic funding really plays a critical role in that it allows innovative studies like this one to move forward, adapt quickly, and reach children who urgently need new options. We are forever grateful for this critical support by Swim Across America and thrilled with the promise of using a child’s own immune system to fight cancer.”
The clinical trial uses tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), which are immune cells that have been taken from the patient’s own tumor, grown into millions of specialized cells, and infused back into the patient. The goal is to help the immune system more effectively identify and eliminate any remaining cancer cells.
“This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate 15 years of making waves to fight cancer here in Tampa Bay,” said Julia Lamb, event director for Swim Across America. “Every swimmer, volunteer and supporter who joins us is helping fund hope for families facing cancer. We are proud to welcome swimmers of all ages and abilities and to support the incredible work being done at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital and especially the promising clinical trial work with Dr. Metts.”
One of the event’s current top fundraisers is Margo Smith, captain of Team MargoRita, who is marking her 15th year swimming with Swim Across America.
“I have been a part of this event since its very beginning, but this year is especially important to me,” said Margo Smith. “I am swimming in honor of two loved ones close to me who are battling cancer. One of them thankfully has many treatment options, including some fairly new treatments. Swim Across America funds research to find these new treatment options and I have seen the tangible results of these efforts. We are all touched by cancer at some point and need to find new treatments for those dear to us.”
Another inspiring swimmer is Wyatt Deaton, age 15, who is swimming in honor of his mother, Michelle Deaton, a breast cancer survivor. Wyatt has been swimming in the Swim Across America – Tampa Bay swim since he was in elementary school. His mom Michelle was diagnosed in 2018 at age 45 with a rare form of breast cancer called secretory carcinoma, a disease once known as juvenile carcinoma because it was more commonly found in children. Wyatt was just 7 years old at the time his mom was diagnosed.
“I’m swimming with Swim Across America for my mom, who means the world to me,” said Wyatt. “When I was 8 years old, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Watching her fight, stay strong, and never give up changed me forever. Today, she is a breast cancer survivor, and I am so proud to swim in her honor. Swimming has always been a big part of my life, and this swim gives me a way to turn something I love into something that truly matters. Every lap I swim helps fund cancer research, support patients, and brings hope to families just like mine. I swim for her. I swim for hope.”
“‘You have cancer’ are three words you never want to hear – and to have to tell your seven-year-old son that is especially hard,” said Michelle Deaton. “Wyatt was so young when I was diagnosed, but he immediately started thinking about what he could do to help me get better. Raising money for Swim Across America and for pediatric cancer research was the challenge he was looking for — and needed — at that moment.”
Michelle added, “I just love, love, love Swim Across America and all it stands for. I talk about the work that Swim Across America supports everywhere I go and to everyone. I’m Swim Across America’s biggest fan and I love that our family can be a part of such a great event that impacts the lives of so many. I’m a true believer that when you put your mind to something, it might not be easy, but I’m blessed as I have gone through something tough like a cancer diagnosis, and it made me realize even more how miraculous our bodies really are.”
The Tampa Bay swim also includes participants like Chris Liu, who is swimming in memory of his father, whose life was deeply connected to swimming before he sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2024.
“Swimming played an important role throughout my dad’s life, from teaching my brother and me to swim when we were toddlers, to swimming alone every weekend morning before the family was awake,” said Liu. “It was certainly painful for my dad when he realized that his swimming days would be cut short when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I can’t pinpoint one specific reason why I decided to join Swim Across America — maybe it’s to continue his legacy as a swimmer, maybe it’s to raise money for a cause that impacted my family, or maybe it’s to find closure with his passing. Regardless, this event hit home for me on so many levels that it would have felt wrong to pass on the opportunity.”
Swim Across America – Tampa Bay will hold its 15th annual open water swim on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at SPA Beach at the St. Pete Pier, 600 2nd Ave. NE, St. Petersburg, Florida. The event welcomes swimmers of all ages and skill levels to help make waves to fight pediatric cancer, with proceeds benefitting Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital.
Participants may choose from a 1/2-mile, 1-mile, or 2-mile swim course and children 8-years-old and younger can participate in a fun Dolphin Dash by swimming a short distance along the beach under supervision. There is also a “SAA My Way,” virtual option for athletes who are unable to participate in-person on May 9th. For registration and volunteer opportunities (land and water), or to support the swim with a tax-deductible donation, visit swimacrossamerica.org/tampa.
Hundreds of swimmers and volunteers are getting ready to dive in and make waves to fight cancer at the 10th annual Swim Across America – Charleston-Kiawah open water swim on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, Night Heron Park, on Kiawah Island in South Carolina. The event raises crucial funds for cancer research at the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. Swimmers of all ages and skill levels are invited to take part in the annual Swim Across America – Charleston-Kiawah open water swim. Participants can swim a 1/2-mile or 1.5-mile open water swim, or participate in a same-day pool swim. For those not able to be there in-person, a SAA My Way virtual option is available. For registration and volunteer opportunities (volunteer on the land or water), or to support the swim with a tax-deductible donation, visit swimacrossamerica.org/charleston.
Established in 2017, Swim Across America – Charleston-Kiawah has raised more than $600,000 for its beneficiary, Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. Each year, the event proudly hosts more than 150 swimmers, volunteers, spectators and supporters, as well as Olympians from near and far, for this inspiring community swim.
“The Swim Across America – Charleston-Kiawah open water swim is one of the most inspiring events you will ever attend,” said Jana Chanthabane, event director of the Swim Across America – Charleston-Kiawah open water swim. “The gathering of so many families and individuals who are honoring those who have been touched by cancer, whether they are survivors, currently battling, or have lost someone, is truly incredible. The feeling of wanting to make a change and to do something for those who have experienced cancer is huge.”
Chanthabane knows firsthand the impact of raising funds for cancer research. She is a breast cancer survivor who has been cancer-free for 13 years. She was diagnosed in 2013 at the young age of 35 while raising three young children. Her personal journey is one of the reasons she has remained deeply committed to Swim Across America and its mission.
To support Jana, her family is swimming and volunteering with Team Chanthabanes Cheating Cancer. Jana’s daughter Ella Chanthabane notes that 2026 represents a powerful milestone.
“2026 marks Swim Across America – Charleston-Kiawah’s 10-year anniversary, and for me and my mom, that means 10 years of commitment to the mission,” said Ella Chanthabane. “Commitment to fighting cancer, making waves, and honoring those we’ve lost, as well as survivors like my mom, is really incredible. We got involved because, like everyone, we had been touched by cancer. We stayed because we believe in the Swim Across America mission and the work being done to support MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, where my mom was treated for breast cancer.”
Among this year’s participants is John Rhodes with Team Axes Endurance Club, who participates in memory of his father and in honor of many others affected by cancer. “I am passionate about Swim Across America and dedicate my time in memory of my father, John Rhodes, who was diagnosed with skin, prostate and thyroid cancer,” said John Rhodes. “In 2001, I began getting skin cancer screenings due to my father’s extensive skin cancer diagnosis and was found to have a basal cell carcinoma, which was successfully removed. Many other friends and family have been diagnosed with cancer, and Swim Across America’s goal of beating cancer through advancements in treatments has already resulted in the saving of many lives around the world. Without Swim Across America’s early-stage funding, researchers are not able to conduct trials that can lead to breakthroughs that save lives.”
Another returning swimmer is Ellen Sullivan with the team Pawleys Island Freestylers, who is taking part in her fourth Swim Across America event. “My journey with Swim Across America began four years ago when my high school swim coach and Olympic swimmer, Craig Beardsley, invited me to support the Kiawah event,” said Ellen Sullivan. “Since then, I have lost both my beloved mother and father to cancer. A close friend has bravely battled and triumphed over her own diagnosis, and my dear colleague continues to fight courageously against recurring cancer. These personal experiences have given me even more reason to swim. I swim to make a difference.”
Sullivan’s teammate Stefanie Whitmire, also with Team Pawleys Island Freestylers, is swimming as both a survivor and an advocate for others facing the disease. “I joined Swim Across America for so many reasons,” said Stefanie Whitmire. “I have many friends who have fought cancer, and this year, I am also swimming for myself. I have never been as scared as when I found out I had cancer — especially when it was a rare cancer. The news was unexpected and came right before Christmas. My surgeons and doctors were amazing. They saw me through two major surgeries, six months of chemotherapy and continued monitoring. I learned so much about my inner strength, my faith and my determination. I want to give back and support the research that will fight cancer. I want others to see there is hope and life in the darkness.”
Irene Row with Team West Ashley Whales is also swimming for a loved one. Her husband, Michael, was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer in 2017 and continues to fight the disease. “My husband, Michael, was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer in 2017, and he has been fighting this disease ever since,” said Row. “We both have family members and friends with other forms of cancer, and some of them have passed away. Michael found out about Swim Across America in 2018 and we both love that it raises money for a worthy cause — funding much-needed cancer research.”
Another standout returning team is Team Baucom, led by Barry Baucom of Kiawah, along with his wife Louise and son Ryan, who happens to be vice president of marketing for Swim Across America. The family has raised more than $60,000 over the past ten years to support cancer research and clinical trials at Hollings Cancer Center.
The funds raised by Swim Across America – Charleston-Kiawah support cancer research and clinical trials at the MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, with funds currently supporting both the Ferreira Lab, dedicated to designing and developing engineered immune cell therapies for autoimmune disease, cancer and aging, as well as a pediatric brain cancer grant.
Nationally, Swim Across America has raised more than $150 million for cancer research since its founding in 1987 and has helped fund clinical trials that contributed to the FDA-approved cancer immunotherapy medications Keytruda, Opdivo, Yervoy and Tecentriq. In the past year, Swim Across America funded a breakthrough clinical trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering that showed that immunotherapy alone could successfully treat certain types of cancer. The organization also recently awarded two first-of-its-kind gene editing innovation grants to the Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, advancing novel CRISPR gene and base editing techniques used in targeted therapies, immunotherapies and cellular therapies. Swim Across America supports more than 60 cancer research projects annually, has eight named Swim Across America labs, and supports work at many of the nation’s leading cancer institutions.For those interested in swimming, volunteering or donating at the 10th annual Swim Across America – Charleston-Kiawah open water swim on June 6, 2026, visit swimacrossamerica.org/charleston, or follow on Instagram and Facebook @saacharlestonkiawah.

“Swim Across America’s community of swimmers, volunteers, and researchers inspired me through their work, their stories, and their hope to join the fight against cancer,” shared Lucas.
SAA also recognized a collegiate team chosen through a random drawing: Team Thundering over Cancer with Marshall University. The team of more than 20 swimmers raised nearly $9,000 through their inaugural pool swim, and were awarded an $800 Kiefer Aquatics voucher. Funds raised by the team from Marshall University supported pediatric cancer research through Swim Across America national grants.
“Swim Across America and their mission is important to us because we have seen our friends and family greatly affected by cancer,” shared by team captain, Nina Nugent “We’re honored to have hosted the first SAA pool swim in West Virginia and hope that together we can Thunder Over Cancer!”
The Swim Across America College Cup invites college teams, athletes, and alumni to join the organization’s mission of funding cancer research, clinical trials, and patient care programs through community charity swims. Teams participate by registering for one of Swim Across America’s open water charity swims, joining or starting a pool swim, or participating virtually through the SAA My Way program. Participants affiliated with a U.S-based college or university are eligible to compete in the College Cup.

Rich DeSelm’s connection to Swim Across America runs deep — rooted not only in his own cancer journey but also in a lifelong commitment to swimming and building community.
Rich was first diagnosed with testicular cancer in January 1982. Since then, he has faced multiple cancer and heart challenges, leaning on the expertise of his medical care team, and his community of supporters who have helped him every step of the way.
“I’ve been fortunate to receive incredible care at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, the beneficiary of the Swim Across America – Carolina pool swim,” Rich shares. “That support has motivated me to keep giving back.”
His story with swimming and cancer fundraising began decades ago. In the early 1980s, alongside his friend, Peter McGrain, Rich helped launch a community event in Chapel Hill called Swim For Life. The summer fundraiser brought together families and swimmers from the Chapel Hill Summer Swim League and raised awareness and funds for cancer research.
Around that same time, after Rich graduated from UNC, he took an assistant coaching position and remained on the coaching staff for nearly 30 years.
When Rich stepped down as Head Swimming Coach at UNC in 2019, his successor, Olympic gold medalist Mark Gangloff, worked with Swim Across America CEO Rob Butcher to bring a new event to Chapel Hill — continuing the mission that Rich had helped start years earlier. Thus, Swim Across America – Carolina was born!
The community pool swim has grown exponentially since its inception in 2022. Last year, supporters raised more than $170,000 for UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
For Rich, the connection to Swim Across America is personal. “I feel a very close connection to the Swim Across America mission,” he says. “I am swimming for all cancer patients and survivors, especially those in the swimming community, and on behalf of all cancer care providers, including family members, who play such a vital role in care and survivorship.”
This year, as he joins the Swim Across America – Carolina community, Rich carries with him not only his own survivor story but also the stories of countless others who inspire him to Make Waves to Fight Cancer.

For Olympian and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill alum, Sue Walsh, Swim Across America’s mission is deeply personal.
“My involvement became even more personal when I heard the words myself, ‘You have metastatic colon cancer.’ As someone who spent most of her life committed to the sport of swimming, it made perfect sense to partner with SAA in the fight against cancer, including my own.”
Congrats to the top collegiate fundraiser, Alyssa Corb, who raised over $24,000! Alyssa is a student at the University of Tennessee, Swim Across America – Nashville co-event director, and long-time supporter of Swim Across America – Baltimore. Over the years, Alyssa and her family have raised more than $200,000.
“My main inspiration for swimming is my brother Michael, who passed away from mixed lineage leukemia when he was nine months old,” shared Alyssa.
“I was 2 when he was born and 3 when he was diagnosed and died. I don’t remember every second but I do remember loving every minute with him, and his face lighting up whenever I walked into his room. To me, Swim Across America is not just about raising money to find a cure, it’s to honor and remember those who fought their battle and prevent other parents, siblings, and families from going through the loss of a loved one.”
SAA also recognized a collegiate team chosen through a random drawing: Providence College Swimming and Diving team from Providence Rhode Island. The team of more than 100 swimmers raised more than $64,000 and were awarded a Vasa Trainer Pro.
