“It’s an actual campaign, it’s a fundraiser
for whatever charity the fire department
decides to fundraise for. So in our case I
believe the money is going to muscular

the Strathmore Fire Department.
“The calendar initiative is truly com-

There will be a live band, a BBQ spon-

stuff for people to come down and enjoy.
Furzer said the plan is to have a street
party type of event.
“It’s going to be a good time over there,”
said Furzer.
At the end of last year’s event, over
$200,000 was raised to go directly to par-

The Kidney Foundation is holding a

Kidney March from September 10 to 12,
and three Strathmore women can’t wait
to be a part of it. The March begins in
Kananaskis and will end in Calgary. Par-
ticipants are marching or running, their
choice, 100 kilometres, and there will be
hundreds of people taking part.
Hayley Poirier, Tammy Griffiths and
Carol Callaghan will be participating in
the March together.
“The reason I got involved really is,
one, Tammy had asked me and it sound-
ed like a great and unique way of raising
funds for this foundation,” said Poirier.
“Each marcher has to raise a minimum
of 2,200. My personal goal is $3,000. At
this point I’m halfway to my goal.” She
began her fundraising campaign at the
beginning of August.
Poirier runs marathons and competes
in triathlons, and the Kidney March is
just another addition to her already ac-
tive life. Another requirement of the Kid-
ney Foundation is that participants be
physically fit to be able to do the March.
The Kidney March set up a website giv-
ing people suggestions, training sched-
ules, fundraising schedules and support
through practice walking. “The Kidney
foundation has been awesome in getting
us all mentally and physically prepared
for this,” said Poirier.
“We have to be ready with all of our
donations for the Thursday September
9 meeting in Calgary to send everything
in and then we have to be ready on the
trails Friday morning the 10.”
Participants will be bused out to
Kananaskis to the starting point, and
they will be given one hot meal a night
and tents to sleep in. Participants also
