60k raised for abused women

About 500 people turned out to a fundraising breakfast to raise money for the London Abused Women's Centre Friday morning.
The record turnout for the 11th annual International Women's Day breakfast resulted in a record $60,000 being raised for the centre, said Megan Walker, executive director of LAWC.
"It's really overwhelming, this community continues to overwhelm us with their generosity and it's really heartwarming," said Walker.
