We will use this twitter handle (@AlanaBLS2018) to provide real-time updates during @alanaaubin's Boston Light Swim on August 11, 2018, starting at 7:30am. Real-time tracking via @meetresults is also coming soon.... @BostonLightSwim #2018bls

My current immunotherapy treatment (pembrolizumab) was made possible in part by research funded by @SAAswim. My quality of life is very very high vs. chemotherapy. Please consider supporting @Jessica_Stokes’s swim on Saturday. #makewavestofightcancer
