Six Tartans participated in the Swim Across America – Baltimore Open Water Swim on Sunday, September 18 on the Magothy River in Pasadena, MD. Team "LOTAs for a Cure" includes Lizanne Passaro ’17 (team captain), Grace Tarbrake ’17, Emma Falkenstein ’17, Elise Mitchell ’18, Emily May ’18, and Heather Fitzgerald ’17. The event raised funds for cancer research at the Swim Across America Laboratory at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.
Swimmers could choose the distance they would swim. Lizanne swam five miles; Grace swam three miles; Emma, Emily, and Elise each swam one mile; and Heather was a land volunteer. This was Lizanne's fourth year and Team LOTAs third year participating in the event. The team raised over $5,400 for the cause.
