    A Charlotte nonprofit is leading the way when it comes to funding rare cancer studies. Swim Across America is headquartered in Charlotte, but it helps save lives across the country.

    The CEO of Swim Across America, Rob Butcher, said he’s getting more calls than ever before — often from oncologists themselves — asking for funding for research proven to change the face of cancer treatments.

    Cancer survivor Maureen Sidaris is amazed by it.

    “It’s amazing, it’s like science fiction,” Sidaris said. “We’re looking into the future.”

    After participating in a clinical trial that Swim Across America helped make happen, Sidaris’ tumor disappeared.

    “The tumor was completely gone,” Sidaris said. “Started in October, and by January, no more tumor. It was like magic, unbelievable.”

    A century after the city of Berlin banned swimming in the Spree River because it was so polluted it could make people sick, there’s a push by swimmers to get back into the water.

    Around 200 people jumped into the slow-moving, greenish water Tuesday to show that it’s not only clean enough, but also lots of fun to splash and swim in the Mitte neighborhood along the world-famous Museum Island.

    A group calling itself Fluss Bad Berlin, or River Pool Berlin, has been lobbying for years to open the meandering river for swimmers again.

    Olympic swimmer Tom Dean dives deep into the discipline and determination it takes to compete at the highest level, reflecting on the years of early mornings, gruelling sessions and the mindset that keeps him pushing for more.

    What happens when you give everything and still fall short? Tom opens up about facing disappointment head-on, the mental toll of elite sport, and how he finds strength in the process, not just the podium. He also shares his mission beyond medals: a powerful push for water safety and ensuring every child can swim.

    This episode is about relentless drive, honest setbacks, and using success as a platform to create lasting change.
