Elizabeth Beisel's Block Cancer swim has proved just that. The original conception of the idea was to raise $5,000 for cancer research and clinical trials; she raised over $135,000. This swim from Pt. Judith to Block Island was more than just a 20km swim. It was a beacon of hope, a chance to spread awareness, and an opportunity to come together. Elizabeth's swim embodies so much for so many and will continue to stand as a pillar of hope, resilience, and inspiration.
