MS Society To Benefit From This Weekend’s Spring Fever Run!
By Sheldon Spackman
The Central Alberta Chapter of the MS Society of Canada stands to benefit from a Spring Fever Run taking place in Red Deer this weekend. The April 22nd event is being hosted by Blitz Events and is a 5 or 10 K run that people of all abilities are encouraged to take part in and raise money for the organization. The MS Society serves roughly 14 thousand Central Albertans through it’s programs.
Officials say this is an inexpensive chip timed event, giving runners the opportunity to receive a race bib, timing chip and water at the finish line. You pay only $30 to run, $10 of which will be donated to the MS Society of Central Alberta. Registrations begin at 8:30 am, while the 10K race starts at 10 and the 5k at 10:10 am. The event should wrap up by 12:30 pm.
Christine Caddell from Blitz Events says 147 people have registered for the event so far, with nearly $460 raised. She points out 30 volunteers have also come forward to help out with the day’s events and fundraising campaign. Caddell adds that Blitz is also organizing a Roundup Run and Oktoberfest Run in Red Deer later this year as well.

The highly anticipated draw took place at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation office, located within the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, with an announcement following live on Facebook, allowing participants and supporters to join in the excitement virtually.
“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”
Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.
This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.
The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.
The keys to the Sorento Dream Home and the Tree Hugger Tiny Home will be presented to the winners at a special ceremony this summer.
Now, during this momentous chapter in our history, we invite you to join us for the Grand Opening of the Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence.
