The weather lately feels very similar to walks of the past – cool and rainy. I think it’s safe to say Fall is finally here. And so are the results of our MDSS Walk With Us fundraiser!
I am so happy to report that this year we raised almost $40,000.00!! Thank you to everyone who participated!
Although Covid had put much of our gatherings/activities on hold, we have big things planned in the coming months into next year. We can’t thank our MDSS family and friends enough for coming together and supporting our one and only fundraiser of the year.
I am also pleased to announce the winners of Most Creative, Farthest Walker, and Most Raised teams.
Most Creative goes to Team Donavin – the Forster family from Melita MB!
The Farthest Walker is Team Logan – the Cox family from Neepawa MB who’s walker was in London UK.
The Most Raised – a whopping $8250 is Team Logan – the Opyc family from Kenora ON!! I think that might be a record!
I also want to give a special mention to team Nick – the Laviolette family who raised a close $7318!!! Incredible! Thank you so much to everyone who donated, family, friends… we cannot thank you enough! Team winners – keep an eye in the mail as your prizes will be sent shortly…
So that’s a wrap for this year. For next year, mark your calendars for September 25, 2022. We are hoping to gather again together at CMU, but that is dependent on circumstances beyond our control. In the meantime, keep an eye out for upcoming news regarding our 30th anniversary and family sleigh ride!
Keep well and take care,
Christine Collings (Walk coordinator)
