United We Age- North Carolina Fundraiser-- Swimming 30-50 Miles for United We Age!

Most of us know the expression “Aging is not for the faint of heart,” and people in their golden years can attest to that. United We Age is an organization whose mission is to provide a support network for seniors in our community.

Our services include providing a meal for a hungry senior, relieving a caregiver or spouse, performing light household chores, or providing transportation for a senior in need. UWA needs funds to pay for meals, transportation, supplies, and other necessities.

Last summer we swam about 12 mi9les and donations ranged from $5 to $50. This summer we will swim a remarkable total of 30-50 miles for this fundraiser. Each lap is 81 lengths of the pool, so that is a total of over 2,400 lengths!

We are asking for donations of $30 for those who are able to give that much, but we will be grateful for any amount you are able to contribute. As you can tell from the large number of miles we are committing to, this mission is very important to us. Please consider supporting us as we swim this summer.

If you are interested in helping other seniors, we would love to have volunteers from the Walk. Please contact Rob Paxton at 703-307-4268 or at rpaxton@UnitedWeAge.org
