Learn how to swim to save a life. This charity raised nearly $100 million to directly fund therapies to defeat cancer. A conversation with Swim Across America’s Rob Butcher and Pam Ryan from Goldman Sachs (EP.09)

Rob Butcher, Swim Across America CEO, and Pam Ryan, Swim Across America board chair and Goldman Sachs managing director, join Aaron to talk about how the organization wants to change the vernacular from “you have cancer” to “there is hope." They share stories about the organization’s very first swim and their most memorable event experiences, including Aaron’s impressive 10K swim this July across the Long Island Sound, and why corporate donations are worth more than just money. Find out how you can get involved, even if you don’t know how to swim, at www.swimacrossamerica.org.
