Yesterday I went to the Georgetown Hospital Walk to raise money for our Hospital. This is the third year that this walk was held and the weather cooperated quite nicely. It takes a lot of work to put one of these walks on including a lot of planning and volunteering. Many of the councillors walked and volunteered. There had to be close to 250 people who came out for this 5 kilometer walk. Paul Armstrong of Armstrong Insurance was out again with all of his staff dressed in their purple jersey's and they are better known on this day as Paul's Peeps.
McDonald's and Maple Lodge farm were huge sponsors as far as feeding us. McDonald's supplied the morning coffee, juice and muffins while Maple Lodge farms supplied other treats including chicken wraps.
The Georgetown Raiders hockey team showed great community spirit by coming out with many of their fans.
The best news of the day is that $30,000. was raised to buy equipment for the Georgetown Hospital and over the three years close to $100,000 has been raised.
We are so lucky to have a hospital in our town with such dedicated doctors and nurses.
Congratulations to all of the organizers of this annual event!
