The Greater Miramichi Parkinson support group is collecting "Pennies for Parkinson''s", these pennies (and spare change) will go toward the 5th annual Parkinson Walk that will be held here in Miramichi on September 9th. The Bank of Montreal, Water St. branch will match up to $500.00 all donations left at their bank.
The penny will be dropped from circulation by years end so why not donated them to a good cause! Drop in and leave your pennies with bank staff Stephanie Akerley, she know first hand what Parkinson''s is like, her grand father in Sussex lives daily with it.
You may also drop your pennies at the Bank of Montreal on Pleasant St. and as well both Vogue Optical locations. The Bank of Montreal, Water St branch has issued a challenge for the people of Miramichi to fill their penny jars more often than any other jars located in Miramichi.
