Swimmer’s Commentary/Goal:
Help Support Me in the Fight Against Pediatric Cancer.

This year I’m attempting to raise $10,000 through Swim Across America in support of Dr.Julie Saba and Dr. Andrew Goldsby at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital and the important research they are doing to treat and cure pediatric cancer.   In addition to the October 3rd San Francisco Swim Across America event, I’m also attempting a few marathon swims, including the Lake Tahoe Vikingsholm.  Through my training and each of my swims, I remind myself that even if it gets hard, it is nothing compared to what cancer patients go through.

You can make a credit card donation here, or send a check to Swim Across America, c/o Anthony DuComb, 1684 8th Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94122.  Checks should be made out to Swim Across America but please include a note mentioning my name-Maya Merhige-as the swimmer you are supporting!

Swimmer’s Commentary/Goal:
I am swimming to raise money for a nonprofit called Pelotonia based in Columbus, Ohio.  Founded in 2008, Pelotonia was established with the objective to fund innovative cancer research.

Since its founding, Pelotonia has raised over $223 million that has directly supported the amazing researchers and physicians at The Ohio State’s Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.

I have participated in Pelotonia as a cyclist and raised funds since 2013 – the year my Dad passed away from brain cancer.  This year, I feel immensely privileged to attempt to swim across Lake Tahoe while raising money for this meaningful cause.
