3rd Annual Swim for Strength
In Memory of Chris Miller & In Honor of Shane Burke
Please join us the evening of July 11th from 7:00PM to 11:00PM for the third annual
Swim for Strength Swim-a-thon;
An evening of reflection, remembrance, and community.
We swim in memory of Chris Miller, whose life continues to remind us how vital mental health, compassion, and connection are. This event helps keep his spirit present among us while supporting causes that speak to the pool community’s values.
This year, we also swim in are raising funds for Brain Cancer awareness. As many as you know, Coach Tara lost her mother earlier this year. Within the obituary for her, she asked that contributions be made to the National Brain Tumor Society. Tara and her family have been hit with the news that her nephew, Shane is fighting with a high grade malignant glioma.
More than a swim-a-thon, this is a chance to come together—whether in the water or on the sidelines—as a show of support, solidarity, and love. Proceeds from the event will benefit suicide awareness, and the National Brain Tumor Society.
Let’s swim with purpose. Let’s swim in community. Let’s swim for strength.
About Chris:
A quiet, thoughtful, and kind man, Chris had a sharp, dry sense of humor and a generous spirit. He was deeply loyal, and maintained lifelong connections with a number of friends who considered him family. Chris was a good man, a master of focus, meticulous, hard working, and filled with a passionate, deep caring. His absence is felt every day by his family and friends, and he will be profoundly missed forever.
