Moonwalkers brave heat, fight CF HENSALL - Twenty-two partici- pants braved the scorching May sun to bring in a new record of pledges for the Hensall Kinsmen's Moonwalk for cystic fibrosis. Kinsmen club secretary Jeff Re- aburn explained that more than $2,700 was raised in pledges by the walkers who left St. Joseph at 9 a.m. Sunday morning to trudge along in the 10 miles of dust and gravel of Highway 84 to return to. Hensall. "I think it was very successful," said Reaburn, adding that pledges were up nearly $800 over last year's totals. The three walkers who collected the most in. pledges were Sandra Consitt 3Arith $331, Alma Dayman with $261, and the youngest walker Shannon Kyle in grade five who collected S218. A toll booth set up near the tracks in Hensall collected enough dola- tions to bring in another S900 be - ti L COOL DOWN - Anne Willert and Luanne Phair find that thewater from the Hensall Town Hall hose is nowhere near as cold as they wuld like it after their three-hour walk under Sunday's sun. 1 twcen 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Six hundred balloons were given out to the motorists. This is the second year the Hen- sall Kinsmen have been involved in fundraising for cystic fibrosis re- search and Reaburn credits this year's sunnier weather for bringing more of the generous motorists past the tollbooth which was operated by the Kinetics organization. Reaburn also extended his appreci- ation to Doug Mock of the Huron - dale dairy who provided a van and orange juice and lemonade for the moonwalkcrs. The event is called a Moonwalk, because when mileage'froni all par- ticipants across Canada is totalled, it is supposed to equal the distance to the moon. Reaburn expects to present the event's sponsor, Zellers,• with the cheque from the Hensall events by the end of June. "It is a very serious disease," said- Reaburn of cystic fibrosis, "and it effects almost entirely children be- cause few of them live to reach adul [hood."
