Dear Friends and Family, It is once again time for the Women’s Cancer Resource Center’s (WCRC) annual fundraiser. Swim A Mile raises funds that allow WCRC to continue to offer FREE services and support to women as they navigate their personal care related to cancer. I will be participating in the Swim A Mile on May 6th, and I hope you will be able contribute with a donation. Since 2002, generous friends and family have helped me raise over $69,000! This goes a long way in allowing WCRC to continue their FREE services which include psychotherapy, support groups, art and wellness classes, community-based patient navigation, and information, as well as referral to community resources. Every year I carry the love and memories of so many friends and family with me during the swim. As in 2021 & 2022, I will swim this year in honor of two strong and positive women: My aunt Linda McGrath, and my friend and swim teammate Susan Fuentes. Both of these women continue to face everyday with strength and a smile, as they work to “exterminate” and “live with” cancer. I am inspired and awed by their strength and positivity. •Aunt Linda, who has had multiple surgeries and intensive recuperations for appendiceal carcinoma, continues to do her best every day to deal with whatever comes her way. Unfortunately, of late, Aunt Linda is having more bad moments than good. Fortunately, she is able to enjoy quality time visiting with her adult children and beloved teen grandsons. Her highlight of this past year was enjoying a family trip in October to visit her grandson during his first year of college while celebrating her 75th birthday. Woo Hoo! Here’s to the good times. •Susan was diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer five years ago. After surgery and four separate treatments, she happily shares these joyous words, “What a difference a year makes!” Her good news is that she’s had 3 clean scans and things are looking good. Her next scan is in May. Her fingers are crossed and many friends and family send love and positivity her way. Please join me in celebrating these strong women, along with others in your lives. My personal fundraising goal for 2023 is $4,000. I’d like to have all online donations completed and checks collected by Friday, April 28th. Thank you for your support. You can find more information about WCRC at wcrc.org. All donations are tax deductible. Sincerely, -Kelly McGrath

Hi Everyone! This is a fun event for a good cause, which is the Women's Cancer Resource Center (WCRC). If you haven't heard about the WCRC, here is the gist of why I really appreciate their existence and their services: The WCRC helps individuals with cancer improve their quality of life through education, supportive services, and practical assistance. They help individuals from various backgrounds and cultures navigate through the often-overwhelming health care system to get the appropriate care and treatment they need. WCRC's mission is to improve equitable access to cancer information, support and care. All of their programs and services are free. And fundraisers like this are what make it possible for them to continue offering their services for free. Please help me keep the WCRC sustainable and their services always available for people who need their support. Also, if you're interested in swimming with me, I signed up for the 1pm slot on Sunday, May 7th. You can make a donation on this page, or send a check with my name in the memo to: Women's Cancer Resource Center, 2908 Ellsworth St, Berkeley, CA 94705 Thanks in advance for your donation - your generosity will directly support more than 2,000 people over the next year! xo-Bridget
