Plans are under way for the second annual Housy One-Miler, a swim from Shelton to Derby to benefit the Griffin Hospital Campaign for Breast Wellness.
The campaign started in 2010 with a goal of raising $1 million for the hospital’s Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness at 359 Seymour Ave., Derby. The campaign has raised about $750,000.
