"Raising MS Awareness with Every Lake I Swim"
June Lake, CA - August 12, 2023
Tenaya Lake, CA - August 11, 2023
Heading 2
On August 11th & 12th, 2023 I will be back in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, where I will once again be swimming to Raise MS Awareness.
My inspiration for Sierra Nevada Open Water 4MS came to me in 2014 as I stood on the deck of June Mountain ski lodge over looking the majestic blue-green waters of June and Gull Lakes. In 2021, I swam both of these lakes and also Lake Mary. This Sumer 2023, I will be swimming the length of another lake of inspiration - Tenya Lake in Yosemite National Park. Sitting at an elevation of 8,150'. I will also be swimming the length of June Lake again, though this time with family & friends swimming along side me.
Please, support me and Sierra Nevada Open Water 4MS in my swims of Tenaya Lake & June Lake in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. Donations benefiting the Race to Erase MS foundation, and the "Center Without Walls" program, racing to one day find a cure for MS.
