Find Your Way Home Swim
September 23, 2023
We are truly overwhelmed by the incredible support for our inaugural Find Your Way Home Swim. This LIVE BIG event quickly transformed into something beyond our wildest dreams. A dear veteran, whose courage knows no bounds, took on a challenge that captured hearts and inspired many.
We witnessed this challenge grow, evolve, and become a powerful force of unity. What started with one turned into 33 dedicated swimmers. This community stepped up, not just for our mission, but for one another. We also express our gratitude to Gorno Ford for their support in ensuring the success of this event. In these moments, we are reminded TOGETHER, WE CAN DO HARD THINGS. You are never alone on this journey, and this community stands as a testament to that. FYWH ’23 was one for the books.
