Just realized that we never posted a final fundraising tally. The competition ended in May, but we could continue accepting donations through the end of June. Thanks to the generosity of so many, Making Waves raised $56,501.42 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society🩸‼️ And Ian swam🏊🏻‍♂️‼️
Our sincere thanks to all of you for your support. Lake Michigan next time?? 😂🤣
