‘Got it done… it’s off the list’

After enduring 12 hours of wind, waves and a painful shoulder, Jonathon Fenton has completed his journey across Lake Winnipeg. The 62-year-old two-time cancer survivor, who completed the 26-kilometre swim a year after his first attempt was halted due to shoulder issues, reached the finish line around 7:30 p.m. at Grand Beach. Despite the rough conditions, Fenton said he finished with a clear conscience, saying, "Got it done... it's off the list."
