I am thrilled the annual Sun City Swim in Orillia will continue in 2019. It was unfortunate that the previous charity- the Simcoe Muskoka Child Advocay Centre decided to step away from organizing the swim in 2019 but we wish them continued success in the fine work they do. I am sure I speak on behalf of all those who have participated in the Sun City Swim in previous years that we are very grateful to the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society for stepping up to the plate to take over the swim this year. All fund-raising proceeds will be earmarked directly to the local Orillia Animal Centre to give abused, neglected and homeless animals in the community the second chance they deserve.
My 7th consecutive Swim With the Fishes fundraising campaign will therefore continue and I greatly appreciate any level of financial support you feel comfortable with. I plan to keep training in my local pool even though I am not sure if I can beet my Personal Best time from last year ... but if conditions are right - you never know. Either way, swimming 4km across one of my favorite fish-filled lakes is always a challenge and one I look forward to immensely.
Thank you for your support,
Wil
