Hi! My name is Ellie Fox and I am a Jewish almost-13 year old preparing for my Bat Mitzvah. For my mitzvah project, I really wanted to get disadvantaged children the books and literacy skills they need to succeed, just like I got. So I have decided to swim laps to raise money, because I love swimming almost as much as I love books.

Please donate here on the GoFundMe, or you can make a per-lap pledge for the number of laps I'll swim at lapsforliteracy.com.

Thank you!
