The weather cooperated as the 22nd Annual Rotary Huron Shoreline Run was even more successful this year as it surpassed its target. More than 300 participants took part and raised $29,000, exceeding the goal of $25,000. Cyclists, walkers, roll bladers and runners all took part in making the annual run the most successful ever. Several fundraising targets included: the 'banking challenge' with Scotiabank raising $4,404 and CIBC raising $ 715 and the medical challenge with Bruce County Physiotherapy raising $945. Several individuals also fundraised considerable amounts: Gerry Walker $280 Carol MacCaulay $300; Fran Sanagan $305; Chris Poole $340; Wendy Putnam $410; Crystal Root $489; Natalie Sidham $500; Paul Schendel $605.
"It's a really worthwhile effort," said Thompson. "I know that some people may tire of me asking for money, but it's a very important cause for the community and we all have to work toward supporting it. [hospital foundation & Rotary]
