New Hyde Park Resident Swims for Sandy Victims

Lesli P. Hiller of New Hyde Park recently participated with Diana Nyad in her historic swim in Manhattan to raise funds and awareness for the victims of Superstorm Sandy.

“I’m fortunate to have been given the opportunity to participate with a role- model such as Ms. Nyad and through her charitable endeavors, assist many families who were affected by Superstorm Sandy,” Hiller said.

Nyad is a long-distance swimmer who in 2013, at the age of 64, became the first confirmed person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the protection of a shark cage.

Hiller is an attorney for the Nassau County Police Department’s Legal Bureau, and Nassau County Attorney’s Office. She is a life-long Nassau County resident involved in several charitable and community organizations.

She has also served as Assistant Counsel and Ethics Compliance Officer for the New York Racing Association and as a Nassau County Assistant District Attorney. She presently holds the title of president of the Former Assistant District Attorney’s Association.
