from their mental health
awareness walk
From left to right, Terri Lyn Devereaux, Kristen
Devereaux, Bridget Cronin, Nicole Morey and the
President of the board for the Canadian Mental Health
Association of Huron Perth, Matt Mackey. The four girls
raised roughly $7,000 last August and decided to split
it up in two ways to the CMHA Huron -Perth branch and
the Huron -Perth Centre for Children and Youth. They
submitted the cheque last week in Seaforth for the
money they donated to the CMHA. The group said they
might do the walk again next year.
