Von Jetzen: First person to swim length of Lake Chelan

Kalispell long-distance swimmer, Emily Von Jentzen, who last year became the first woman and just the third person to swim the 28-mile length of Flathead Lake, is now the first person to swim the length of Lake Chelan in Washington.

Von Jetzen who helped raise money last year for, Karmyn Flanagan, a young girl battling battling acute lymphoblatic leukemia, was again pursuing a goal greater and deeper than skimming across the surface of the narrow 55-mile long lake Chelan (the third deepest lake in the United States, 1486 feet deep).

Again she was swimming for a child with cancer. This time for, Katelyn "KK" Roker. Roker is a 5-year old from Kalispell who is battling Stage 4 neuroblastoma, a high-risk cancer.
