On Sunday, February 13th, Delmanor Elgin Mills residents, volunteers, family members and Heart and Stroke Foundation staff gathered in the lobby of the retirement residence to kick off their fundraiser walk for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

| The Heart & Stroke Walk-a-thon Group |
There were 20 seniors taking part in the walk, and they were joined by family and friends. The participants were encouraged to walk around the entire first floor of the residence as many times as they could. Two of the seniors completed 28 laps without stopping; this was a new record for participants in this event! The walk-a-thon itself brought in over $800.00 with the possibility of much more from the raffles and 50/50 draws that will be going on until the end of February. Organizers hope to raise $1,000 from the entire fundraising event.

| The Par Three Trio |
The hungry participants were rewarded with a brunch buffet and excellent entertainment provided by The Par 3 Trio to complete a perfect and memorable day!
