Shaun Telfer, owner of the Morrisburg Canadian Tire store, and David Lapier, Jumpstart Project organizer, were at Seaway District High School on Friday, June 12, to receive a cheque for $1,589.39. The money was raised by the Seaway Spartans and the Iroquois-Matilda Lions club at the Fun Run held at the Iroquois Beach on May 9. The special Jumpstart event was organized by Allysa Mayhew and Jenna Douma, both students at Seaway and junior Lions. “We had a great fun run,” said principal Don Lewis, “and an excellent turn out. There were 90 participants from a baby in a stroller to a runner who was 75 plus. We were pleased to contribute to the Jumpstart project.” From the left are Don Lewis, Shaun Telfer, Iroquois-Matilda Lion, Nancy Barkley (who was also Jenna and Allysa’s mentor), David Lapier, Allysa Mayhew and Jenna Douma.
