Swim Across America

If you've always wanted to swim across this great country of ours, now you can! (Just wait at least half an hour after eating across America.) Tomorrow is the Swim Across America Greenwich-Stamford swim to benefit the Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy (ACGT), America's only non-profit organization dedicated exclusively to funding cancer cell and gene therapy research. The swim kicks off at Cummings Point in Greenwich, and you can choose from the 1/2 mile, 1.5 mile, 3-mile or 5-mile courses. Last year's event raised over $300,000 for ACGT! At the very least, throw on some water wings and float for a good cause! (Note: Do not do this during the actual event.)
