76 km down, 53 to go for Kevin O

We’re into day three of Country 90.5 FM morning host Kevin Oschefski’s walk for the cure. 

He’s completed 76 km so far as he walks and runs the 129 km from the Northeast Cancer Centre in Sudbury to the downtown North Bay CIBC branch over the course of four days.   

Oschefski reached Verner on Wednesday and is heading towards Wolves Den on Thursday.  

On Friday, those wishing to join with him on the final stretch can meet him at the Main Street West/Hwy 17B exit on Highway 17 at about noon.   

He’s walking to honour his wife Josie and all those who are fighting breast cancer.   

As of early Thursday morning, over $37,000 has been raised.       

Here’s a link to his fundraising page.    

The CIBC Run for the Cure takes place on Sunday, Oct. 6.
