Swim Across Lake Michigan for FLOW

Tax deductible
We are swimming 60 miles across Lake Michigan! It will be the 2nd ever mid-lake crossing, first ever relay-style crossing (mid-lake) and hopefully the fastest ever crossing. We will be swimming through the night and expect the swim to take 24-30 hours. It's going to be Epic! But... none of this would be possible without the incredible gift that is Lake Michigan.

Lake Michigan is such a gift and we want to use our swim to celebrate that gift and remind the public of our need to care for her. Growing up & living in West Michigan, all of our team members have a unique love and appreciation for Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes as a whole. We also realize that it’s a gift we too often take for granted. We want to do our part to care for this amazing body of water and make sure that it’s protected and enjoyed for generations to come.

We are excited to highlight and support FLOW  (For Love Of Water) as our charity partner.

FLOW (based in Traverse City, Michigan) is dedicated to protecting and preserving The Great Lakes as an extraordinary and essential natural resource endowment. They aim to apply public trust principles to educate, advance policy, and provide solutions to the pressing water, energy and climate issues facing our region, nation and planet.

Want to join us in making a difference? We'd be honored if you'd support our swim by making a tax deductible donation to FLOW. Any amount is appreciated. You could contribute a dollar per hour ($24-30), a dollar per mile ($60), ten dollars per hour ($240) or even a dollar per minute $(1440) and anything in between. 

Your support at any level means the world to us and will provide extra motivation when the going gets tough in the middle of the night, in the middle of the lake.

Help us protect this great gift that we cherish!
