In July 2021, Elizabeth lost her father to pancreatic cancer. His name was Ted Beisel.
Moved by her father's fierce battle against the disease, Elizabeth organized a fundraising swim to Block Island, aptly named 'Block Cancer'. The 20km (12.5mi) swim raised over $665,000 for cancer research.
Today, 'Block Cancer' has grown into a globally recognized brand, raising money for cancer research and providing compassionate guidance to those who have been affected by cancer.
Dedicated to raising money and awareness for cancer research, prevention, and treatment through community charity swims across the country.
The money raised in each community is granted to a local beneficiary to give patients and families hope in the fight against cancer.
