HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — Nick Hobson of Holland is about to undertake a 20-mile swim in Lake Michigan, from Holland to Grand Haven — he wants to raise moeny for The Pink Fund, which provides financial support to people with breast cancer as they are being treated, hoping to reduce their stress and support their recovery.
Hobson wrote on his fundraising website, he remembers finding his mom crying as she endured breast cancer treaments.
He plans to hit the water on September 4th, with supporters who will help keep him safe. So far, he’s raised about 350 dollars toward his $5,000 goal.
“Weather depending,” he wrote, “on the 4th September, I plan to swim the 20 odd miles between Holland State Park and Grand Haven State Park in Lake Michigan. You can track the progress of my swim on the day here which will kick off just before 7am: https://track.rs/wheresnick.”
