From July 10–12, ultra-marathon open-water swimmer Jessi Harewicz will attempt to break the Canadian record for the longest unassisted open-water swim by swimming 106 kilometres from Vernon to Penticton through Lake Okanagan.
More than a remarkable athletic achievement, Jessi's swim is helping raise awareness and funds to support the expansion of Foundry services across the Okanagan, including our efforts to bring Foundry to the Westside through the Not Alone: Bridging the Gap campaign.
Funds raised through her swim will benefit three new Foundry centres in development:⁠

📍Foundry North Okanagan ⁠
📍Foundry on the Westside (West Kelowna, Westbank First Nation, Peachland)⁠
📍Foundry Summerland ⁠
We are grateful to Jessi for championing youth mental health in such an inspiring way and invite you to join us in supporting by:
