My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Prostate cancer
Men's health
Mental health and suicide prevention
Testicular cancer

On May 23rd, I'm swimming from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco — 1.8 miles of open water at less than 60°F.

8 years ago I started open water swimming on the belief that it would make me a better man. It did — just not in the way I expected. It turned out to have less to do with grand displays and more to do with showing up consistently for my physical and mental health. No performance, just the work.

I wasn't alone. Most men I spoke to didn't transform their health through some defining moment — they just kept showing up. Quietly, consistently, without making it a thing.

Along the way, I saw a lack of discourse about how and why men seek help. I’m fundraising with Movember because they’re closing that gap. They fund research and support programs for the cancers and mental health conditions that take men's lives quietly and early.

Every dollar goes directly to Movember. And if you're not in a place to give right now, just talking about this stuff counts — especially for the next guy who needs to hear it.

The swim will start South of the island where I'll be dropped off by boat with a small group of swimmers, overseen by the team at Pacific Open Water Swim Co.
