Mike's 14-Mile Swim: Feed Boston, Free Kids from the Screen

- $50,000
Michael Klonsky is 63. On September 4, 2026, he swims fourteen miles of open ocean, Nantasket to Marblehead. No lanes. No walls. No shortcuts.
He has been swimming for sixty years. This one counts double. Every stroke is split evenly between two missions.
The Greater Boston Food Bank turns your dollars into meals on real tables across Eastern Massachusetts. Every mile feeds someone.
strongerKIDS is the antidote to the screen. One real activity a week that gets kids off the couch and back into the world. You can't bring a phone in the water.
The swim, by the numbers:
- 14 miles, point to point, miles offshore in open ocean.
- 500 training miles over seven months of buildup.
- 50,000 yards a week at peak. Whales breach around him. Sharks live there too. He keeps swimming.
The goal is $50,000, split 50/50 between food on Boston tables and kids back in the real world.
He does the miles. You do the rest. Give once, pledge per mile, or start a matching challenge that doubles everyone else's. Sixty seconds, and it all runs through Every.org.
Be the reason he gets in the water.
Follow the crossing
Watch him live.
A support boat pings his position all day. You can follow every mile of it in real time, from the Nantasket start to the moment he touches sand in Marblehead. Open the tracker on swim day and watch the dot move.
