PROJECTS AT LGH

THE SECOND annual

Lions Gate Medical Research

Foundation (LGMRF) and North Shore News May 24 Run
For Research was a runaway success Sunday.

The participation in the 10-
kilometre run and the money rais-
ed by it were twice what they were
in the 1986 run.

In all, 420 Run For Research
runners helped raise $10,000 in
donations and pledges from Sun-
day’s run.

In 1986, 220 registrants raised
$4,400.

All funds generated by the run

are used to fund community
research projects at Lions Gate
Hospital. Because LGH is not des-
ignated as a research facility, it
receives no money from the pro-
vincial government for research.

In addition to providing funds
for research into everything from
diabetes to uuclear medicine, Run
For Research money helps provide
start-up funding to aid the hospital

ISED FOR

in pursuing larger grants from
other foundations and provincial
and federal levels of government.
There were seven categories in
Sunday's race, which began at the
William Griffin Centre at 9 a.m.
Dennis Grapnon of North Van-
couver won the Open Men’s 19-to
39-year-old age division with a
time of 35:11, while Carol Mon-
tgomery, also of North Vancouver,
won the Women's Open in a time
of 36:10.
