The fundraiser brought in more than $15,000 for Hospice Huntsville, with funds still coming in.<\/p>\n<p>Distance swimmer Joy Jarvis set out from the Town Docks early on a foggy Sunday morning (July 17) to complete the 12-kilometre swim that would take her up the Muskoka River, around Lake Vernon&#8217;s Centreview Island, and back to the Town Docks.<\/p>\n<p>Jarvis began the Swim for Hospice in 2012 after having completed Swim for the Kids in support of Camp Oochigeas for 11 years. \u201cThe swims were dreams of mine for years,\u201d said Jarvis. \u201cAnd when I saw (Algonquin Grace) Hospice I wanted to help. A few years ago, a friend was battling her second round of cancer and was in the hospital and really wanted to be in something like hospice.
