Swimmer Dylan Rumsey plans to swim the Niagara River tomorrow, in support of Pathstone Mental Health.

A Niagara-on-the-Lake man will swim the Niagara River tomorrow for a good cause.

Swimmer Dylan Rumsey is raising money for Pathstone Mental Health, which provides mental health services to children.

A Go Fund Me campaign has been launched, with a goal of raising $12,500.

So far, over $10,000 has been raised.

The 25 year old says he'll swim from the Queenston boat launch to the gazebo at Queen's Royal Park.

Rumsey says he has dealt with mental health issues himself over the past decade.
