On Friday, September 23, 2016, local resident Amy Stern will embark on a 5K swim challenge to raise money for the Westchester-based not-for-profit, My Sisters' Place.
My Sisters' Place supports victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, and human trafficking, in seeking safety, self-determination, and justice. The organization provides direct support services such as temporary housing, counseling, and legal support to victims and their children. My Sisters' Place also promotes prevention with a special emphasis on youth.
Ms. Stern, who is a semi-retired telecommunications consultant, has done 5K swim challenges 5 other times, including three times across the Hudson River. This year's 5K swim challenge will take place in the pool of the JCC Mid-Westchester.
