“Wendall’s Walk” to Raise Funds for Lion’s Head Hospital
Submitted by Rob Hiscott
Rotarian Wendall Thomson will walk from Tobermory to Pike Bay (over 60 kilometres distance) between September 11th and 15th to raise funds for our local Lion’s Head Hospital. Wendall believes in the importance of ‘Keeping Health Care Close to Home’, which is the motto of the Bruce Peninsula Hospitals Foundation. Wendall’s fundraising walk will begin at the terminus of Highway 6 in Tobermory, follow south down Highway 6, turning west at Pike Bay Road, and finally turning south on Sutter Drive. His walk is scheduled over four days (in case there is bad weather), and he is hoping to walk just over 20 kilometres a day.
Donations may be made to Bruce Peninsula Hospitals Foundation via e-transfer (to admin@bphsfoundation.com), or by cheque sent to the Foundation (at 369 Mary Street, Wiarton, Ontario, N0H 2T0). All donations must be marked to ‘BPH Foundation – Wendall’s Walk’. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of any size (please include your full return mailing address for receipts). See “Wendall’s Walk” ad on page 4.

Special thanks to ‘Friends of Rotary’ who generously volunteer their time and efforts to help Rotary make these Pancake Breakfast events a success! Our final scheduled Rotary Pancake Breakfast for the season will take place on the Labour Day long weekend, on Sunday, September 3rd, from 9:00 to 11:30 AM at the Rotary Pavilion adjacent to Lion’s Head Beach.
