On June 8, the Stand By Me Foundation partnered with URBANSWIM for a 28.5-mile relay swim around Manhattan. The relay team—Andrea Amato, Carrie Hillebrand, Colleen Stranzl, Danielle Honrath, Fleur Sohtz, and Nate Freeman—completed the course in just under 8 hours, raising nearly $25,000.
The event was memorable, with New Yorkers cheering on the swimmers from ferries, piers, sidewalks, and bike paths. The funds raised will help both elite swimmers and those just learning to swim, fostering a supportive community and promoting swimming accessibility.
