A Little Event with a Global Reach MORE THAN $60,000 RAISED FOR CANCER CARE FUND SWIMBOWEN TEAM
DIVING RIGHT IN Dozens of swimmers rushed into the waters of Tunstall Bay on Saturday morning to take part in the annual SwimBowen fundraiser for the Cancer Care Fund. Participants swam either a 750 or 1,500 metre course, returning to the beach afterward to celebrate with friends and family.

MARY LYNN MACHADO PERSONAL REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
With blue skies and rolling seas, the 7th Annual SwimBowen was another extraordinary celebration of community, of swimmers, volunteers and supporters bursting with enough enthusiasm to keep spirits buoyed for another year. Together we raised a staggering $60,134 for the Cancer Care Fund with donations coming in from as far away as Singapore, New Zealand and the Netherlands. SwimBowen’s founder Mary Letson was top fundraiser with $7,096 in donations. With happy tears, Mary passed on the Grand prize Whistler Get-Away package to second runner up Tammy Flynn Seybold of West Vancouver who raised an impressive $5,604. A big congratulations to our third place (but first in our hearts!) fundraiser Anne Chollat who slowly but surely raised a whopping $4,434. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7
