Hi, I’m Jerry Nepodal, a Lorton/Spring Hill resident and Springfield Prince of Peace church member. For the past 6 years, many of you have supported me with pledges to my solo swim-a-thon to raise money for the Bethany House of Northern Virginia. In 2024, you helped me raise $12,000. Thank you again.
This year, I’ve recruited two additional fellow Spring Hill residents in hopes of raising our total to $20,000+. Here’s the team for this year, left to right: Jim Clark (age 74), Jerry Nepodal (age 72), and Mike Robey (age 68). These athletes, just peaking at their prime, have courageously volunteered to give their best efforts by swimming continuously, non-stop, as long as they can. Cumulatively, our goal is 12 hours.
We’re asking you to please pledge either a specific amount or an amount per continuous minute that we swim. For example, you may wish to pledge exactly $100 regardless of the total duration of our 3 swims. Or, you may want to pledge money per each minute we swim. If we swim 12 total hours (12 × 60 = 720 minutes) and you pledge $.20 per minute, you would donate $144.
To encourage your pledging, we have secured an $8,000 matching pledge such that when we reach the $8,000 pledge level, that will double to $16,000. Remember, our goal is $20,000+, so please help us go as high as possible.

Bethany House has been serving our neighbors by providing short-term housing to women and children escaping domestic violence. Every dollar we raise will go directly to current housing construction and furnishing projects.
Thank you in advance for considering a pledge. Please let me know if you have any questions by emailing me at toserve@verizon.net.
