Wow! Congratulations on celebrating being alive and supporting health care! Incredible! 👏
We invite you to join us in congratulating Jon Fenton on completing an absolutely incredible feat—a 12-hour, 26-kilometre swim from Gimli to Grand Beach, all in support of health care!
Six years after his stem cell transplant, Jon took on this incredible challenge to celebrate his milestone and give back to the medical teams who helped him get here. And what started as one very big swim became an even bigger show of support.
Together, you have helped Jon raise money and make a difference for the Health Sciences Centre Foundation, CancerCare Manitoba, and the Alberta Cancer Foundation. Even though the swim is complete, there’s still time to be part of Jon’s journey. If you’d like to make a last-minute donation in support of Jonny’s Big Swim, you can give today at https://host.nxt.blackbaud.com/adaptive-donor-form/?formId=5d5d1a56-f3bf-4e52-817e-bbcf7e58c9f2&envid=p-kpAl1c5caEiUT2kDGAncQw&zone=can
From Jon’s first stroke to the final dollars being raised, thank you for cheering Jon on and helping him turn a personal milestone into something that will make a difference for so many others.
And to Jon—the waves may have been big, but your strength of spirit was bigger. We are so grateful for your generosity, your determination and your commitment to making a difference in health care.
Congratulations, Jon!
