This was Jenson’s first sponsored event to help raise money for his current and future needs.
On August 15th, 2015 at midday, Jenson dived into the pool to swim 1 mile (which is 80.5 lengths or 41 double lengths, as shown on the blackboard in the video below), a very challenging target!
After just 50 lengths, Jenson got cramp in his right foot. Despite the pain from the cramp, he went on to complete the full 80.5 lengths of the swimming pool unaided, often just kicking with his left leg due to the pain in his right.
After 1 hour and 18 minutes, Jenson completed the full mile.
We have all been blown away by everyone’s support and would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has donated towards this event.
