## Resource

Kelly Gabianelli, diagnosed with breast cancer the day after her 54th birthday, turned a devastating diagnosis into a story of resilience—thanks to cold cap therapy funded by the Swim Across the Sound. This life-changing treatment, which cools the scalp to minimize chemo-induced hair loss, let her attend her daughter’s graduation with her hair intact, preserving her identity and sense of control. The annual event not only supports patients like her through grants but is also driving broader access: Medicare now covers FDA-approved scalp cooling systems, and states like Connecticut are requiring insurance coverage. With the 39th Swim Across the Sound set for August 1st in Bridgeport, organizers are rallying volunteers to keep this vital mission alive—offering hope and normalcy to cancer patients navigating treatment.
