Golf tourney raises $700 for Diabetes Associatioxi The first-ever Wingham Golf Tournament for Diabetes was held Sunday at the local golf club. It at- tracted 35 golfers, 48 for dinner and raised $700 for the Huron - Bruce branch of the Diabetes Asso- ciation. Organizers of the tournament were Tim and Anita Gurnick of Wingham. Proceeds of the golf tournament will stay in the commu- nity, says Mrs. Gurnick, through education material and programs. The merchants of Wingham were most supportive of the tournament, she adds and donated all the prizes awarded. Anita Gurnick is one of 1.5 mil- lion Canadians who suffers from diabetes. She has "type two", or adult-onset, diabetes which is con- trolled through oral medication. While 'diabetes affects 1.5 mil- lion Canadians, it is estimated that at least that many again have the disease yet have not been diag- nosed. Diabetes also contributes to heart disease and stroke, is a major cause of blindness and amputa- tions. Even though it can have far- ranging repercussions, Mrs. Gur- nick is quick to point out that dia- hetes need not hamper one's ability to lead a full and Satisfying life. In addition to the golf tourna- ment, the diabetes association has targeted Saturday, Sept. 30, for its beer -store blitz. That day, anyone who wishes to do so may donate their empty bottles at beer stores across Ontario toward the Diabetes Association. Last year, $132,000 was raised and this year's target is $150,000. As well, the association is hold- ing a door-to-door appeal in No- vember, Diabetes Month, says Mrs. Gurnick.
