Teams and individuals gathered at Lheidle T’enneh Memorial Park this morning for this year’s MS Walk.
During the event’s pre-walk ceremony, Co-Lead Sandra Stibrany said they had raised $13,000 out of their goal of $57,000.
This year’s walk was a little different, as it was on a Saturday, which Co-Lead Ashley Provencher said it’s too soon to tell if they will continue that change.
“Regularly across Canada, everybody walks on Sundays. So all the walks happen across the nation on the same day, and it’s nice to be part of that, however, if this goes off more successful than our Sundays, it’s something we could discuss.”
There is still another fundraiser lined up in August, which is a golf tournament, that Stibrany said helps them reach their goal.
Earlier this month, the City of Prince George held a flag raising to bring awareness to the fight against Multiple Sclerosis, proclaiming May as MS Awareness Month.
More information, and where to donate can be found on the Prince George MS Walk website here.
