The 37th annual Walk for Hearts was held successfully on Sunday, May 5.

The Walk started at 1 p.m. from the Willow Point Hall and headed north along the Sea Walk, then returned to the Hall by 2 p.m. It is a fun family affair with refreshments and prizes provided.

Participants either provide a donation or gather pledges from others to raise funds for this event which benefits cardiac patients from the whole North Island and our Campbell River Hospital.

The funds stay local and are used for North Island “heart patients” as well as cardiac equipment for the Campbell River Hospital with over $385,000 donated so far.

Members of the society are proud to be listed as the second highest donor on a plaque in the lobby of the Campbell River hospital.
