BARRIE - The inaugural walk for the CCSVI Foundation was held Sunday, April 17. Despite the unusually cold weather, the group raised $3,500. Steve Garvie, president of the foundation, was pleased with the event and said approximately $1,000 in pledges are still coming in. The money will be used to treat Multiple Sclerosis patients with an angioplasty-type surgery to unblock veins. Garvie said the next fundraising event is a dinner and dance.
