Meet Greg.
Greg Geibel is swimming 500 miles over the course of a year and using every mile to raise support for Alive & Free.
He tracks every length and every yard, building toward 500 miles one swim at a time. Friends, family and the wider community can pledge an amount for every mile he completes.
Every approved pledge applies to Greg's final campaign distance, up to 500 miles. No payment is collected when you pledge.
Make every mile count.
Choose an amount per mile. If Greg reaches all 500, a $0.50 pledge becomes $250.
