Swim from Alcatraz to San Francisco

In Loving Memory of Sybil Hedrick Park

Supporting End of Life Choices Oregon

I am going to swim from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco and I want you all to join me!!

Since Sybil passed in September of 2024, I have wanted to find a way to continue to honor and keep her memory alive while doing good work to hopefully help others. In fall of 2025 I came up with doing something she loved, Open Water Swimming, and raising money for a group that mattered to her in her cancer journey, End of Life Choices Oregon (EOLCOR).

This group of volunteers needs our support to help them continue to offer medical aid in dying information to families with loved ones with terminal illnesses that, like Sybil, get to a place where their pain and suffering outweigh their joy.

Please consider a donation in her honor to help others facing the same emotions she faced. EOLCOR is an important organization, and we are fortunate in Oregon to have these choices for end of life care.

I love you all,

Since our founding in 2017, we have grown from a small grassroots network into a statewide nonprofit, guided by the simple belief that every person deserves dignity, understanding, and choice at the end of life.
