It was the hardest thing I've ever done.

Rarely will I use LinkedIn for personal posts, but later this year I'll be attempting to complete the revered 8 Bridges Swim. I’ll be fundraising alongside the lead up to this event and all donations will go toward Beavertail Open Water. I’d like to kindly ask those in and beyond my network who see this post to consider making a donation! Now a little about both:

The 8 Bridges Swim is the world's longest staged marathon swim, consisting of 7 swims in 7 consecutive days covering 120 miles from point to point. Starting in Catskill, NY (near Albany) and finishing in the New York Harbor between Staten Island and Brooklyn, I'll swim from one Hudson River bridge to the next each day with a shortest distance of ~14 miles and longest of ~20 miles.

Beavertail Open Water is a domestic 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that I launched in 2023 to provide safety, support and funding for open water swimming events while funding and advocating for better stewardship of New England’s natural water resources and promoting the conservation of these waters. Beavertail Open Water uses all net proceeds and fundraising to accept applications for and allocate grants to the local conservation, science and research community. Their goal is to support researchers, professors, and Masters & PhD students with the funding they need to pursue research, projects, programs, and initiatives of conservation.

Any and all donations are greatly appreciated! Link below:
