My Story…
Swimming Across Lake Superior
In August 2026, I’ll be taking on the Point to La Pointe Open Water Swim. It's a 2.1-mile swim across Lake Superior from Bayfield to Madeline Island.
Because "relaxing hobbies" has never really been my thing.
I’ve always loved challenges that push me physically and mentally races, endurance events, long rides, hikes, and adventures that leave you with stories worth telling. Swimming across one of the most powerful lakes in the world definitely qualifies.
But this event is more than just the swim itself. The fundraiser supports the Bayfield Rec Center and Recreation & Fitness Resources, helping provide recreation programs, scholarships, and wellness opportunities for youth, families, and seniors in the community.
My goal is to raise at least $500 before June 1st as part of the event fundraiser, and I’d love your help getting there.
Whether you donate, share the page, or just follow along as I train for this adventure, thank you. Your support truly means a lot.
Now it’s time to see if swimming across Lake Superior is actually a good idea.
