The final fundraising numbers for this year's Journey for Sight snowmobile ride are now in.
Dauphin Lions Club president Dean Lounsbury crunches the numbers.
"We had a 50/50 draw that brought in $3,000, which brought our total to $41,640. And then we had a group of riders out of the South that did a one-day ride on the Sunday after we wrapped up our ride, and they raised around $7,000. So we are close to $50,000."
Lounsbury says the final amount is simply remarkable.
"For 12 riders that started in Flin Flon and a group of 10-15 riders in the south, that is unbelievable. It was a great job by everybody."
Money raised through the ride will go to the Eye Bank at Misericordia Hospital in Winnipeg
This year was Lounsbury's 25th year being involved with the ride, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026.
