Volunteers needed to help plan 2019 Grey Bruce Gutsy Walk

To the Editor:

On the morning of Sunday, June 2, 2019, residents from Grey and Bruce counties will be participating in the Gutsy Walk for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada at Walkerton District Community School.

Funds raised go toward research and educational programming, as well as raising awareness about Crohn’s and colitis, two auto-immune digestive disorders that impact 233,000 Canadians, both young and old.

This year, 140 walkers raised more than $41,000. Our fund-raising efforts were recognized by the national office with an award for highest percentage increase across Canada.

The Grey Bruce Gutsy Walk committee is looking for volunteers to help plan the 2019 walk. The commitment is four to five meetings (one per month from January to May) as well as on walk day, June 2. We meet in Walkerton.

To indicate your interest in this committee or to learn more about the walk, contact me at: cindymatthews1957@gmail.com or call 519-635-3764.

Let’s make it stop. For life.

Thank you,
Cindy Matthews
