My Story…

I’m swimming 2.1 miles across Lake Superior and I need your help!

This August, I’ll be swimming 2.1 miles across Lake Superior from Bayfield, WI to Madeline Island as part of the Point to La Pointe Open Water Swim. This will be my third year participating, and it has become a meaningful family tradition that we look forward to each year.

All donations raised through this page go directly to Recreation and Fitness Resources, a nonprofit based in Bayfield, WI. The organization operates the Bayfield Rec Center, North Coast Community Sailing, and the swim event itself. Their programs serve youth, adults, families, and seniors across the region, including swimming and sailing lessons for kids, Silver Sneakers and Aqua Fit classes for seniors, and scholarships for community members who need financial assistance to participate.

The Bayfield Rec Center is also home to the only public 25-meter pool within a 70-mile radius, making it a vital resource for the entire region.

If you’d like to support this cause, any contribution is appreciated and goes directly toward keeping these programs running and accessible to everyone in the community.
