Cancer Survivor Swims 26K Lake Winnipeg | Winnipeg News
Description
Sixty-two-year-old Jonathon Fenton, twice cancer survivor, just conquered a brutal 26-kilometer swim across Lake Winnipeg—twelve hours in the wind and waves, even with a painful shoulder forcing him to switch to one-arm strokes. This wasn’t just endurance; it was purpose. His “Jonny’s Big Swim” raises funds for cancer foundations across Alberta and Manitoba, fueled by his own battle with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and memories of hospital stays. He stayed hydrated without ever touching land, raised over $1,300 per kilometer pledged, and now calls this chapter closed—with a grin and a sense of triumph.
