Defying all odds, Scott Rees, a blind athlete, remarkably swam a staggering 30 kilometers across Georgia Straight in BC to champion the cause of guide dogs. His extraordinary journey, fueled by sheer determination and a quest to give back to the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind – an organization that empowered his independence, is nothing short of awe-inspiring. This incredible feat, beyond the physical challenges, has successfully raised a soaring amount of over $160,000! In true celebratory fashion, Scott toasted this monumental achievement with a special Guide Dog Session Ale courtesy of Tapworks Brewing Company.
