Jessica Long
Swimmer and 29x Paralympic medalist, world champion & record holder
Charity: V Foundation for Cancer Research
Jessica Tatiana Long is a Russian-American Paralympic swimmer from Baltimore, Maryland, who competes in the S8, SB7 and SM8 category events. She has held many world records and competed at five Paralympic Games, winning 29 medals (16 of them gold). She has also won over 50 world championship medals.
Jessica’s life has been nothing short of amazing. Born to a teenage mother in the Siberia cold, burdened by congenital defects in her legs requiring double amputation, and placed for adoption at 13 months old, Jessica was able to persevere and become a 29x Paralympic medalist, world champion and record holder.
With an unrelenting determination and belief in herself, Jessica has been able to reach the pinnacle of her sport and maintain her position amongst the best in the world for over a decade. Now as one of America’s most decorated champions and winningest female athletes in US history, her work focuses on succeeding in the water and inspiring others outside the pool.
“With the never ending support of my family I understood that the only thing that was going to impact my future was my attitude towards my life.”

HOW IT WORKS
We put our hands together
to do a lot of good
My Hand My Cause captures highly detailed, artistic hand photographs of celebrities. There are notable people from the worlds of Sport, Music, Movies, Art, Medicine, Science and more — people who are leaders in their fields and working to make our world better along the way.
We use these unique photos to raise money by selling high quality, life size prints of each celebrity's hand along with their printed signature and date it was shot. We offer the print in exchange for a $105 donation with the net proceeds going to the charity chosen by, and associated with, that celebrity.
