Thompsonites will be walking for a good cause this weekend at the Defeat Depression Walk.
The 4th annual event will start at the Burntwood Clinic at the Plaza Mall beginning at one, and will follow with a chance to socialize and win prizes.
Outreach Manager for the Burntwood Region Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba Ron Buchanan has the details on how to register as a participant.
“The easiest way is to go on our website, DefeatDepression.ca, follow the location link to the Thompson event, and it’s quite easy to register yourself. You can register as an individual or as a team, or if you want to donate to a participant, you can go to the same website and click the donate button. Or just show up at the event at noon and register right at the site. We get a lot of walkups as well; we try to encourage people to sign up online so we know more about what the numbers are, but by all means just show up and register, everybody’s welcome.”
Money raised from pledges will be supporting the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba.
