Cloyne’s Walk of Hope a success

Despite the rain on Sunday, September 12, 44 people and three dogs came out to Bon Echo Provincial Park to show their support for those who have been touched in some way by ovarian cancer. The weather didn’t dampen our spirits and we enjoyed barbecued hotdogs under the picnic shelter after the walk.

The $5,500 raised by the walk and a yard sale held in July will be used by Ovarian Cancer Canada to raise public awareness, provide education and support for women with ovarian cancer and their families, and to fund research that will ultimately lead to a cure.

A very big "Thank you” to everyone who played a part in this important local event.  It truly was a community effort.
