High school freshman Willa suffered an asthma attack, was treated at Rady Children's Hospital, and witnessed first-hand how families are helped by San Diego's Ronald McDonald House. Her experience inspired her to organize Swim 2 Breathe, a 48-hour swimming relay that starts today at UCSD Canyonview Aquatic Center. Swimmers & donations welcomed - please help Willa reach her goal of raising $10,000 for our House! | Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego
