Former TCU swimmers raising money to stop cancer
Former TCU swimmer and Olympian Walter Soza '96 is raising money to fight cancer through Swim Across America, which is holding its Fort Worth-Dallas area event at Harbor in Rockwall on Lake Hubbard on Saturday. Swim Across America is a non-profit organization that organizes swim events and "is dedicated to raising money and awareness for cancer research, prevention and treatment through swimming - related events. With the help of hundreds of volunteers nationwide and past and current Olympians, SAA is helping to find a cure for cancer through athleticism, community outreach and direct service."
Soza and fellow ex-TCU swimmer Layton Shaffner '97 swam last year in honor of family and friends who have struggled with the disease and have been taken by it. This year, they have created Team TCU made up of Horned Frog participants.
