Swim Across America returns to Nashville, funding cancer breakthroughs like Keytruda at Vanderbilt
Swim Across America is hosting its 5th annual Nashville pool swim at Ensworth Natatorium to fund cancer research, including treatments like Keytruda at Vanderbilt. The event, open to all ages and swimming abilities, has raised over $150 million nationwide in 39 years and supports early-stage cancer research locally. Event Director Alyssa Corb, motivated by her brother's death from leukemia, emphasizes the event's role in advancing cancer treatments and providing hope.
