Hi all!
Thanks to your generous support, we have REACHED OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL!
And thanks to many people contributing goods and support for free to the swim, we have also managed to cover most logistics with a leaner budget than we had originally anticipated. This means we will have a significant donation to contribute to LGBT Youthline already. And we want to make that contribution even bigger. So, we are increasing our fundraising goal to $15,000! An additional $2,500 will help Youthline continue to support 2SLGBTQ+ youth in Ontario through peer support and efforts to increase access to resources and community.
August has been a big month for me as I continue to prepare for the big swim. I am currently in my taper phase of training, taking extra rest and cutting down on my swimming volume so I can be well-rested for the big day. When I get the notice that it’s time to go to Niagara-on-the-lake to start the swim, I will share a link for our GPS tracker so you can follow along on my journey swimming back to Toronto!
Thank you so much for your incredibly generous support, and please continue to share about the swim with anyone you know who may also want to support!

With gratitude,
Lev
