Battling inclement weather, Sand Bay’s Randy’s Angels took to Sand Bay Road and walked the old railway track above Front road and back, which is approximately 5 kms.

This is the third Pontiac Kidney Walk in support of the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Given the current COVID numbers. The decision was made to scale back the walk which usually starts at the Shawville Fairgrounds, and hold smaller local walks in individual communities. Even with restrictions, the Pontiac Kidney Walk managed to raise $6,548.
