Residents run for cause
Three Salmon Arm residents recently took part in the Okanagan Marathon, a 10-kilometre run/walk to raise funds for the Canadian Diabetes Association. Amy Witt, accompanied by daughter Rachel and Nel Peach, formed Team Diabetes, sporting a banner at the event. Witt, who lives with type-one diabetes, and Rachel crossed the finish line with a time of 1:17:17 and smiles on their faces, with Peach, who also lives with type 1 diabetes, crossing the line at 1:35:24, 44 seconds faster than her previous race in Calgary. Witt and Peach are both Team Diabetes alumni members.
