McGregor surpasses Terry Fox goal

McGregor Public School teacher Penny Hilliker had a bucket of ice water poured over her shoulders by volunteer Peter Martens after pupils at the Aylmer school participated in their annual Terry Fox Run and Walk on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 24. Both Ms. Hilliker and Principal Charlotte Wall agreed to a “bucket challenge” if their pupils surpassed the $500 fundraising goal. The pupils did better than that by raising $596.40. Another about $100 was to be collected for a grand total of almost $700. The money would be donated to the Terry Fox Foundation that invests in research to find a cure for cancer. Mr. Martens also had a bucket of ice water poured over his head by Mrs. Wall.
