This past Sunday was the
10th annual fundraising
walk for Autism Ontario, at
the Goderich Beach.
The monies raised from
the walk will support fami-
lies with members on the
Autism spectrum within the
Huron -Perth Chapter.
An amount of $4, 525 was
raised from the "Huron
Walk" in Goderich and many
notable persons from the
community were in attend-
ance to support Autism
Ontario.
Mellisa Wormington from
NV Fitness helped partici-
pants get warmed up with
stretches and pre -walk
exercises.
The Warden of Huron
County and Mayor of Central
Huron, Jim Ginn and his wife
Brenda also took part in the
fundraising walk, and
donated to the important
cause.
MPP of Huron -Perth, Lisa
Thompson was unfortu-
nately unable to attend the
fundraising event, but sent
her support via a speech,
which praised the organizers
and those participating.
"Through this walk we
raise money to support
families with members on
the Autism Spectrum
within our Huron -Perth
Chapter. All the money we
raise locally through the
walk, stays within our
local chapter to help fami-
lies with things such as 1:1
support for camp, swim-
ming lessons, horseback
riding and more,"
explained Huron Perth
Chapter President, Katrina
Brindley -Ryan.
"It was so great to see fam-
ilies new and old, come
together and share in their
trials and victories."
The Huron Perth Chap-
ter for Autism Ontario will
