With approximately 100 swimmers ranging in age from 6-19, over $4000 was raised! Funds raised from the event have been donated to the Dr. H.

During her Newfoundland and Labrador Tour this Fall, Tara Oram visited the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre in St. John's to pay a visit to some of the cancer patients that were on hand that day and to learn more about cancer care right here at home.
Thank you, Tara! Your visit was much appreciated and certainly brightened many faces that day!
