Dear Editor,

As the planning team for the 2019 Parkinson鈥檚 Superwalk held at Aldor Acres on Sept. 9, we were thrilled with the support of many businesses in our community as well as our local Township of 91原创 councillors. We know it was a busy weekend of activity in 91原创, but we were grateful for the presence of Councillors Bob Long, Kim Richter, Margaret Kunst, and David Davis.

We were blessed with generous donations throughout the day for lunch, the door prize table and the gift of time from others. Claud Muench brought his 1956 Mercury. Paramedic Tim Haverman brought a new ambulance and fortunately only needed to give out one bandaid. Lanstone Homes, Otter Co-op, Aldor Acres and Gourmet Donuts provided all of the food and beverages.

Alyssa Nielsen, BCCMA nominee, graced us with her music and encouraged Superwalkers to cross the finish line. Our door prize table was sponsored by WestGrow Biologicals, Numbers Unlimited Bookkeeping Services, White Spot, Cranberries Naturally, Saba Restaurant, Davistead Farms, Coast Capital Savings- Fort 91原创, Skillsource (Doug MacLaren), Niche Floral, Infinity Mixed Martial Arts, Lelem Cafe, Inbalance Rehab and Velocity Cycles.

With over 40 volunteers, generous neighbours and the beautiful sunshine, it was a fantastic day. We raised almost $15,000 towards research, programs and support for the Parkinson鈥檚 Society of BC. Again, thank you to the people of 91原创 for supporting this community event. See you all next year!
