Our Team:Willa Thomas, Founder
Willa Thomas was born in Charlotte, NC before moving to San Diego, CA and is an incoming freshman at La Costa Canyon High School. After being hospitalized from an asthma attack she felt the urge to help the children that were in the hospital for much longer than she was. Combining her desire to help, passion for philanthropy, knack of organizing, and her love for swimming she came up with the idea for Swim 2 Breathe. She has worked two years to plan Swim 2 Breathe and is excited to provide a little bit of comfort and support for families with children in the hospital. Natalie Wilson, Head Deck Monitor
Natalie Wilson is an incoming sophomore at La Costa Canyon high school. She was diagnosed with asthma two years ago, and has been struggling with it ever since. Like Willa, she is a competitive swimmer. Natalie was excited when Willa, her friend and teammate, asked her to help with Swim 2 Breathe. Natalie enjoys helping others and is eager to be a part of this wonderful event to help hospitalized children. |
