On July 30, 15 Scarsdale residents (Plus 2 non-Scarsdale family members) swam in the Swim Across America Long Island Sound Swim to raise money for cancer research, treatment and awareness. Dedicating their swim to Paul Jimenez, the Greenacres 5th grader who lost his fight against rhabdomyosarcoma this past January, Team #PaulieStrong has already raised almost $105,000 for this year's event.
More than 500 swimmers participated in last week's Long Island Sound Swim and, collectively, raised more than $1,000,000. In raising 10% of the total, Team #PaulieStrong raised more than any other dedication team in any Swim Across America event.
