WEXFORD — A charity walk/run will be held at 8 a.m. Sept. 10 at the North Park boathouse.

There will be a 5-kilometer course for runners and the physically challenged, and walkers can enjoy a one-mile walk.

Cost for adults ages 14 and up is $15 before Aug. 31, and $17 after Aug. 31. The cost for people ages 6 to 13 is $5 before Aug. 31 and $7 after Aug. 31.

All proceeds benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Elora's HOPE Foundation.

The foundation offers scholarship funds to local students studying special education.

Awards will go to the three top male and three top female runners, walkers, physically-challenged walkers and wheelchair participants. Medals will be given in different age groups.
