Heart and stroke event

Dear Editor:

I am the owner of Hair with Care in Fergus.

On Sept. 7, I held a fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and raised $4,000. On Oct. 17, I presented a cheque to Sara Felske, senior fundraising relationship manager with the foundation.

I would like to say a special thank you to the community for coming out and to local businesses in Fergus, Elora and Belwood for donating raffle prizes for the event.

Also, a special thanks to everyone for their cash donations, and to Peter and Bob at Tim Hortons for donating coffee and donuts.

A huge thank-you to all the vendors. We couldn’t have done it without you.

I am very thankful and appreciative of all the special people who helped make this fundraiser possible.

In September 2026, I am looking forward to holding my sixth annual event for Heart and Stroke. I hope I can count on the community once again for their support.

Carrie Anne Kierstead,
Fergus
