This past weekend's Alzheimer Society Ride for Memories was a little short of its financial goal, but the event is still being hailed a huge success.
The more than $31-thousand raised was about $4-thousand less than expected.
But Executive Director of the Alzheimer Society of Kenora-Rainy River Districts, Lynn Moffatt says the turnout was huge.
"This year we had more riders than any year before," says Moffatt. "We had 160 riders. We had riders from as far as Thunder Bay coming out to this event."
Money raised goes towards support and services to families and people suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia related diseases.
