Dearest family & friends, We have come of age this year! May 11, 2024 will mark my 21st year participating in the Women's Cancer Resource Center’s (WCRC) Swim A Mile for Women with Cancer. Many of you have been swimming beside me with your donations for every single one of these 21 years… others I’ve only just met during the last two decades, and your ongoing support has been consistently loving and inspirational. Above and beyond that, your generous donations have helped the WCRC grow substantially since my first Swim A Mile. With 13 full time staff and a network of 200+ active volunteers, they now serve ~2,000 women with cancer and their loved ones. And they do it amazingly well. From caring intake of new clients to programs in art, yoga, meditation, cooking, and more; to specialized support groups; to one-on-one advocacy in navigating the healthcare system; to education for cancer prevention; to support throughout treatment, survivorship, hospice, or celebrating cancer-free diagnoses… the women in this organization truly provide unique, critical support and resources for the clients of WCRC. Some of you may know that 2024 also marks 40 years since my mom died of breast cancer. I wish there’d been an organization like this from which she could have benefited. Granted, she had many, many friends and family members surrounding her with love and support – but the WCRC would have been the one place where she didn’t have to explain what it was like for her to wrestle with the Beast. They would have understood her experience completely and she’d have found a home there… just as I witness so many women finding a home, and each other, at the WCRC. I hope you’ll consider participating again this year to help me raise funds for my favorite organization. No amount is too small (or big!). You can click to make a donation HERE, or send a check with my name in the memo to: Women's Cancer Resource Center2908 Ellsworth StBerkeley, CA 94705 Also… please remember to send along the name(s) of anyone you’d like to add to my prayer list! Whether you donate or not, this is an important part of the swim for me and many others. Healing thoughts, good vibes, strong prayers – whatever your beliefs are – have a very real and crucial impact on those who need it most. Let’s toast 21 together and make it one of the best years yet! Thank you for always, always caring. With tremendous love, Kelly P.S. In October 2022, a local TV station did an interview with the WCRC. It’s a short yet informative, uplifting piece that provides some loving insight into this powerful little organization.

Dear Friends and Family, Swim A Mile is rapidly approaching! This will be my 23rd year to participate in this annual fundraiser for Women’s Cancer Resource Center (WCRC). Swim A Mile raises funds that allow WCRC to provide FREE services and supports to women as they navigate their personal care related to cancer. I will be swimming on May 11th, and I hope you will be able to contribute with a donation. Since 2002, generous friends and family have helped me raise close to $70,000! That’s a lot of support for so many people. WCRC’s supports include psychotherapy, support groups, art and wellness classes, community-based patient navigation information, referrals to community resources, and so much more. Every year I carry the love for, and memories of, so many friends and family members with me during the swim. My father, Richard McGrath, and Jamie’s parents, Ross and Marvel Sherrill, are always with me. During this year’s swim, I will also hold three strong women in my heart - gathering power and strength to send their way: My friend and swim teammate, Susan Fuentes; My aunt, Linda McGrath; and my mother’s neighbor and dear friend, Nancy Shaw. These women are facing their challenges every day with grace and positivity. Their goals ranges from OBLITERATING CANCER, living with cancer, moments and days without pain, and simply enjoying their rich lives. Please join me in celebrating these strong women, along with others in your lives. My personal fundraising goal for 2024 is $5,000. (Help me blast past that goal!!) I’d like to have all online donations completed and checks collected by Friday May 10th. You can make a donation on this page, drop a check to me/ask me to pick it up, or send a check with my name in the memo to: Women's Cancer Resource Center2908 Ellsworth StBerkeley, CA 94705 Thanks in advance for your generous donation. You can find more information about WCRC at wcrc.org. All donations are tax deductible. With gratitude, -Kelly McGrath

Hi all, On May 11th, I will be participating in the Swim A Mile for Women with Cancer fundraiser for the Women's Cancer Resource Center, and it would mean a lot if you are able to donate to support their work. I recently began volunteering with WCRC as a therapist in their free therapy program and would love to support this organization. WCRC's volunteer therapist program is really important and rare. It provides 12 weeks of free therapy for women who are in cancer treatment and have less than $45k household income a year. Without this program, it is impossible for many of these women to access therapy while managing one of the biggest stressors in life.

Dearest Family and Friends, I'm celebrating -- 15 years of swimming! This year, on Sunday, May 12, I’ll suit up once again and swim - for the 15th year – in the Swim A Mile, a fundraiser for the Women’s Cancer Resource Center(WCRC). Who knew, in 2010, when my sister teammates, Louise, Rhetta, Debbie and I first took the plunge, that 15 years later I’d still be making a splash for WCRC! Still going strong! I’ve done it with your loving support. This year, I’m proud to swim in honor of my sister teammate, Rhetta Hinton, a 29-year breast cancer survivor. Rhetta is one of the original four Sonoma Splashers. Diagnosed in 1995, she, along with 4 of her other dear family members have had a breast cancer diagnosis. In Rhetta’s own words: “I was fortunate my cancer was caught early, and I became a ‘self-advocate’ for annual mammograms emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis!” (Rhetta is pictured on my right). With Rhetta cheering us on from the poolside, Debbie, Tamara and I will proudly represent the Sonoma Spashers this year, jumping in to swim our mile. I hope you’ll support my Swim this milestone year, and help me give back to WCRC for all the valuable services they provide to our community.
