Ashleigh Beacham, a 15-year-old swimmer from the southwestern Ontario town of Komoka, has swum Lake Ontario from Niagara-on-the-Lake in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Ashleigh touched shore at Marilyn Bell Park just before 8 p.m. Sunday night after being in the chilly waters since 1 a.m. “It’s just unbelievable to think that a 15-year-old girl would spend two years training for this to send a little five-year-old boy with leukemia to Disney [World],” Elaine Blaney, Beacham’s grandmother, told CP24. “We’re all so very proud of her.”
