This year Swim Across America, or SAA, is offering ways to support Rush University Cancer Center virtually, allowing you to choose your own physical activity and raise funds online. People interested in participating can walk, run, bike, swim or engage in any other exercise in support of cancer research and treatment at Rush.
In addition to choosing your activity, SAA Chicago is offering virtual fitness classes and other ways you can join from home and support Rush.
