Congratulations Hunter what a fantastic show of support for the Walk to d'feet MND Hunter! With $45,000 raised so far the fundraising page will stay open for another two weeks. It was a new venue this year, and what a great success it was with a choice of two different Walk routes for participants to choose from. There were over 700 people, lots of furry friends and a wonderful atmosphere. Thank you to Angie for the great music, the Lions Club for the yummy sausages, Kickin Back Coffee and of course a very big thanks to all our wonderful volunteers. Not to forget our wonderful sponsors Leah Jay, KOFM and Capture Imaging Photography. Donations can be made at the Hunter Walk page https://secure.artezpacific.com/registrant/EventHome.aspx?eventid=50276&langpref=en-CA&Referrer=direct%2fnone
