A target of $3,000 had been set for Sunday’s Kidney Walk in Tillsonburg – and they doubled it.

“Actually, right now, we’re just a shade over $6,200,” said Greg D’Hulster, local contact person for the annual event which started at the Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital at 10 a.m.

“I’m ecstatic – it was a very good turnout,” said D’Hulster. “Good numbers and a good amount of money raised.”

Numbers were better, he said, with 73 registered walkers, up from just over 50 in 2015.
