Lot's of Help Covering Familiar Territory

Yesterday Denise and Diane (Paul writing again for Denise) started the day walking just west of Yellow Creek along Highway #41.
They were joined early in the day by Etta Taylor who walked all the way to Ethelton (approx. 25 kms). Here they are walking past the old McCloy Creek train bridge.

Diane had the joy of the company of a few passengers throughout the day. One of them was one her Sunday School students, Tyrelle Audette, who also walked over 6 kms.

As the day progressed the crowd increased to include Linette Audette and Brian Stevenson. Throughout the day many people from the community stopped to bring words of encouragement and give donations.We finished the day at the town of Ethelton, just 27 kms from Melfort. We could see the grain terminals to melfort on the horizon. Great job to everyone who joined the walk! In the evening we were treated to a warm meal and a visit from some of our friends from the community. Thank you to Brain & Linda Stevenson for their generous hospitality.
