Shaunavon businessman and member of Shaunavon Town Council Grant Greenslade is one of five business people and community leaders from across the province to be invited to be a part of the Rescue on the Prairies Fundraiser for STARS.

STARS is a charitable organization that cares for and transports critically ill or injured patients throughout Saskatchewan and beyond.

Greenslade has accepted the challenge to be flown to a remote Saskatchewan location and left there to raise $50,000 for STARS.

He says he accepted this challenge because the services that STARS offers the people of the province are very important. He says that if he is able to raise enough to contribute to saving one life he will consider the challenge a success.

Greenslade adds, "Raising $50,000 is a big, big challenge. And fortunately I've got good support so far. I've just reached over the half way mark with a week left to go, so I'm hoping that we'll be successful."

Participants will be flown out on September 15th and picked up when their goal is reached.
