Efforts will continue over the coming weeks in aid of Palin and his efforts to lead a more active life.

Those wishing to donate to the cause may contact one of his family members for more information, or drop by the Scotiabank in Hartland and make a deposit to the Vaughn Palin In Trust For Wayne Palin fund.

In other news concerning the Wayne Palin Fund, a yard sale in aid of the cause, planned for Saturday, July 19, has been postponed until a later date as there is still a number of items to go through.
