You've made it here, so you must have heard about the challenge that I (Jillian Best) am taking on this summer! Saturday July 27, 2024, I'm diving into Lake Muskoka and swimming 30km the length of Lake Muskoka to support a cause close to my heart.  Camp Kivita provides a weeklong experience for kids facing organ challenges. As a transplant survivor myself, I understand the importance of community and support. Every stroke I take brings these courageous kids closer to experiencing the joy and fun of a 'normal' week at camp, surrounded by peers who understand their journey. At Camp Kivita, the kids are looked after with all of their needs met by dedicated and specialized staff to ensure they can have fun without worrying about their health.

But, I'm not alone in this endeavor. Alongside me, a relay of five incredible swimmers will tackle the same distance across the lake, symbolizing the unwavering support network that surrounds every transplant survivor. This isn't just about swimming; it's about showcasing the strength of community and the power of solidarity.

Follow my training journey and on Instagram here as I prepare for this monumental swim. Your support, whether through donations or spreading the word, will make a real difference in the lives of these children. Let's make a big wave together and provide them with the opportunity to thrive!
