A Thompson resident will join the Lions Journey for Sight that leaves Flin Flon Wednesday morning.

Kent Korzenowski will take part in the annual fund raiser for the Lions Eye Bank of Manitoba and Northwest Ontario. Around 20 snowmobilers from across the province will leave from Flin Flon and carry on to The Pas in day one of the trip.  Day two has them ending up in Swan River. On Friday the group splits up with some riders heading to the Roblin and Russell area while the rest will carry on through the Duck Mountains to finish up in Dauphin.

The snowmobilers will be joined by others from across the province as they arrive in Brandon Saturday afternoon. The Journey for Sight raised over 83 thousand dollars for the Eye Bank last year.
