Monday, 27 May 2013 11:22

It was a perfect morning for a run Sunday. The 17th Annual Dairy Capital Walk/Run took over Southside park yesterday as runners and walkers raised funds in support of the Woodstock Hospital Foundation. Participants took on the 10K, 5K and 2K as well as the Lil' Hoofers for the youngsters. According to organizers, it was their biggest year with over 800 participants raising roughly $45,000 in support of the WGH Foundation. The top fundraising team was Vuteq brining in $1840 and the individual top fundraiser was Vera Stewart who raised $730. $11,563 was brought in through pledges alone. Vuteq gathered a team of 168 walkers and runners, with Toyota Boshoku teaming up with 88 participants. Event organizers Kathy DeWeerd and Karen Langdon extended their thanks to the many volunteers and sponsors who made the day possible. The funds will be used to purchase a Direct Mobile Radiography machine, a portable x-ray machine for the Diagnostic Imaging Unit. The new machinery will offer imagining technology at the bedside when moving a patient is difficult or unsafe.
