Bill Michl, second from left, was greeted with cheers just moments after completing his 60-mile “Run for the Scan” from Rainy River to Fort Frances on Friday. It was aimed to help jumpstart the “Just Imagine” campaign to raise $1.5 million for a CT scan at La Verendrye Hospital. With Michl are Riverside Foundation for Health Care board chair Larry Cousinea, left, “Just Imagine” campaign chair Deane Cunnigham, and Riverside Foundation director Teresa Hazel. About $200,000 was pledged over the course of the day.—Melanie Béchard photo
