Nemours Swim4Kids with Michael Phelps

Fourteen-time Olympic Gold medalist, Michael Phelps teamed up with Nemours to raise funds for children's health.

The Nemours Swim4Kids with Michael Phelps fundraiser was held on Saturday, October 16, 2010, at Thomas McKean High School in Wilmington, DE.

Over $74,000 was raised to support the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, DE, and Nemours' KidsHealth.org, the #1 most-visited website in the world with health information for parents, kids, and teens.

"I started the Michael Phelps Foundation to help grow the sport of swimming and encourage kids to live active and healthy lifestyles," says Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps. "Through the Foundation, we partnered with Nemours' KidsHealth.org to develop the health and wellness curriculum for our "im" program and the feedback has been extremely positive. I'm happy to be a part of Nemours Swim4Kids because it benefits an organization that is committed to making kids healthy in so many ways.

Nemours cares for more than 250,000 children annually, providing world-class health care and hope to children. Nemours' KidsHealth provides doctor-approved health information to parents, kids, teens, and educators online, and to hospitalized patients and their families.
