Exeter walkathon organizers honoured by Children's Hospital Foundation By Adrian Harte LONDON - Steve and Audrey Skinner, whose successful walka- thon raised $23,000 for the Chil- dren's Hospital of Southwestern Ontario, were presented with a di- rector's award at the annual meet- ing of the Children's Hospital Foun- dation last Wednesday evening. Foundation president Brian Les- sard said at the meeting at the Lon- don Regional Art Gallery that the Miracle Network Telethon raised 51.2 million for the foundation. The Skinners presented the cheque from the April 28 Exeter walkathon on the June telethon, surprising Children's Hospital rep- resentatives with the extraordinary amount raised. Executive director of the founda- tion, Laurie Smith, when presenting the director's award to the Skinners, called the Exeter event "the little walkathon that wouldn't quit". While the audience had been asked to hold their applause until the last of the 21 director's awards was presented, the fact that an event organized by two individuals raised well over $20,000 elicited a round of applause. The Skinners were the only individuals presented who received an award. All other major telethon fundraisers were fi- nancial institutions, corporations, businesses, service clubs or com- munity groups. CFPL and CKNX television sta- tions also received special awards for their pari in bringing the Mira- cle Network Telethon to the region. While the Skinners organized the walkathon in memory of their daughter who died in 1990 after a liver transplant at the London Hos- pital, Audrey said that plans are definitely in the works to hold an- other one next spring, although the exact date has yet to be set.
