🇺🇸 SWAM was proud to come out and show our support for the 12th Annual Dan Healy Memorial 5K today! It was a wonderful morning bringing the community together to honor the life, service, and sacrifice of Senior Chief Petty Officer Dan Healy. One of the most meaningful moments of the morning was watching Gold Star Mother Natalie Healy kick off the race, reminding everyone why this event means so much. We are forever grateful to Natalie and all Gold Star Families for their strength, sacrifice, and dedication to keeping the legacies of our fallen heroes alive. It was also great to see Governor Kelly Ayotte join the community in honoring Dan’s legacy and supporting this special event. We’re honored to be part of such a meaningful event and stand alongside a community dedicated to ensuring our nation’s heroes are NEVER Forgotten.

🏃‍♀️🇺🇸 TEAM SWAM RUNNER SPOTLIGHT: STEPHANIE KERRIGAN! 26.2 Miles Completed. Mission Accomplished! 🏅 Congratulations to retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Stephanie Kerrigan, who crossed the finish line at the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon @marinecorpsmarathon in Washington, D.C., yesterday, October 25, representing Team SWAM! Stephanie dedicated more than 24 years to serving our country, beginning her military career with the Maryland Air National Guard in January 2001. She was commissioned as an officer on September 21, 2001, just ten days after the tragic events of 9/11. In 2002, Stephanie was among the first to deploy following September 11, helping support the initial build-up of Al Udeid Air Base. Throughout her career, she served as a Civil Engineer Officer, contributing to critical military infrastructure and operations. After retiring from the military in November 2025, Stephanie continued her spirit of service by taking on 26.2 miles with Team SWAM to raise funds for Veteran Service Organizations providing life-changing programs and resources to our nation’s Veterans and their families. ❤️ The race may be over, but Stephanie’s fundraising mission continues! Donations are still open, and you can help her reach her fundraising goal while supporting our nation’s Veterans. 👉 Support Stephanie’s fundraising efforts: https://marinecorpsmarathon2026.funraise.org/fundraiser/stephanie-kerrigan Stephanie, thank you for your more than two decades of dedicated military service and for continuing to give back to your fellow Veterans.

🏃‍♂️🇺🇸 TEAM SWAM RUNNER SPOTLIGHT: EZRA LIU! Meet Ezra Liu, one of our dedicated Team SWAM runners taking on the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C., this Sunday, October 25! For Ezra, running 26.2 miles is personal. His mother, Michelle Ferdinand Liu, served 21 years in the United States Navy, giving him a firsthand understanding of the sacrifices made by our service members and their families. As Ezra shares: “Growing up in a military family gave me a firsthand perspective on the sacrifices Veterans make and the challenges that don’t end when their service does.” Inspired by his mother’s service, Ezra is running with a purpose: to raise awareness and support for the Veterans and families who continue to need critical resources long after their military service ends. We’re proud to have Ezra representing Team SWAM and helping raise funds for Veteran Service Organizations providing life-changing programs and services to those who have served! ❤️ Let’s rally behind Ezra as he prepares to take on 26.2 miles this Sunday! 👉 Support Ezra’s fundraising efforts: https://marinecorpsmarathon2026.funraise.org/fundraiser/ezra-liu Ezra, thank you for your dedication to our mission, and thank you to Michelle for her 21 years of service to our country! 🇺🇸 Our Freedom Is Not Free. #MarineCorpsMarathon #RunForSWAM #SupportOurVeterans #MilitaryFamilies by @swimwithamission

Meet Greg Cole, one of our dedicated Team SWAM runners taking on the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon @marinecorpsmarathon in Washington, D.C., this Sunday, October 25! For Greg, running 26.2 miles is about much more than crossing the finish line. It’s about honoring his father, Bruce H. Cole, a Vietnam Veteran who passed away in 1994 at just 51 years old. Greg shares: “My dad, Bruce H. Cole, served in Vietnam and passed away in 1994 at just 51 years old. I carry tremendous pride in my dad, his service, and the sacrifices he made for our country. On race day, every one of those 26.2 miles will be for him, and for every Veteran who has sacrificed for our freedom.” Greg has already raised an incredible $11,779.96 from 67 generous donors to support Swim With A Mission and our Veterans! 👏 ❤️ He’s less than $500 away from reaching his $12,262 fundraising goal!
