You’re invited!
The Shuswap Lake Health Care Auxiliary in has been busily planning their annual Footsteps For Our Future event which is a walk/run in aid of women’s health to be held on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 10.
This popular event starts and finishes at the south end of the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds where participants commence their 2-kilometre, 5-km or 10-km walk/run.
The event also features face-painting, games and a barbecue – an entertaining and fun-filled event for the whole family and a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Last year the Shuswap Lake Health Care Auxiliary raised $7,000 for the purchase of priority women’s health equipment for the local hospital.
Project chairperson Gloria Lynd said the auxiliary has now identified an item that will be supported by the funds raised in this year’s event.
“A new resectoscope is needed for women’s surgical procedures at Shuswap Lake General Hospital and we are looking forward to being able to bring this equipment to our hospital…”
A resectoscope is a type of endoscope used in surgeries of the uterus, prostate, bladder, or urethra.
Everyone is invited to get together with friends and/or colleagues, form teams or challenge friends to walk or run the distance together or participate as a singles.
Registrations can be made on event day or at the kiosk in the Mall at Piccadilly.
Dates and times are posted at the kiosk, where pledge forms are available.
Donations can be made online at www.shuswaphospitalfoundation.org under Auxiliary.
For more information on how to participate, call Gloria Lynd at 250-832-0481.
