The Campbell River branch of the First Open Heart Society raised more than $7,200 at its 30th annual Walk for Hearts last Sunday. The event attracted 102 participants and included a walk along the Seawalk, beginning at the Willow Point Hall, as well as prizes, refreshments, and a rousing warmup.
Funds raised will go towards cardiac equipment for the Campbell River Hospital.
The First Open Heart Society is a support group for heart patients and their families, made up of all unpaid volunteers and all the funds are raised locally and stay local.
