Cole Lauritzen (10), Drew Lauritzen (8), and Michael Wheeler (10) have more than a few things in common. They all live in Lafayette. They all like to swim. Unfortunately, they all have lost a grandfather to cancer, and have grandmothers who are currently fighting cancer. And earlier this month, they all swam a mile to raise money for the Women's Cancer Research Center. Together they raised over $1200 for the charity. The Swim A Mile For Women With Cancer annual event was held October 2nd and 3rd at Mills College in Oakland. It meant a lot to the boys to be able to swim in honor of their grandparents. This is the second time Cole has participated and the first time for Drew and Michael. The three of them are already looking forward to participating next year.
