3 In Focus, July, 2010 Jeff and Darlene Sutherland lead the way back to the Gellert. Jane Gallagher, Tyler Skilling and Kyle Horak put their best face forward. More than 1,000 participants laced up their walking shoes on June 5 and trekked through Georgetown South during the second annual Georgetown/Acton Walk for ALS. Sunny skies greeted the walkers as they followed Jeff Sutherland, a local doctor who was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) in 2008, and his wife, Darlene, on the five-kilometre walk. Afterwards, the participants were treated to hot dogs, pizza, snacks and cold drinks while they listened to music by DJ Salty Dog and other live entertainment. This year's walk raised more than $140,000. Photos by Andrea Lefebvre (From left) Courtney Martinec, Jennifer Knox, Julianna Miller and Hannah Miller are happy to raise money for a good cause.
