Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer
Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know about an event I'll be participating in.
I'm going to be playing in a celebrity road hockey game at the
announcement of an epic, new fundraising event called ROAD HOCKEY TO
CONQUER CANCER on Tuesday, September 28.
Although the announcement will be made at 11:00AM, it is an all-day
affair at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto, starting at 6:00AM. There
will be road hockey games all day long, music, interactive games,
product sampling and a registration desk for those onsite to sign up,
should they feel so inclined. At 11:00AM, the actual media conference
will commence. Paul Alofs, the president and CEO of ROAD HOCKEY TO
CONQUER CANCER, will give details of the event. They will have a
couple of hockey personalities speak, two doctors whose work will
benefit from the funds raised, as well as a survivor who will be
participating.
Please come and watch or get involved, any support little or small is amazing!

MS summer camp
The MS summer camp for kids and teens is now in its fourth year and it runs from August 14th-20th. The camp is held in Perth, Ontario, along the banks of the beautiful Big Rideau Lake. Campers range from 8 to 18 years of age. These campers get a chance to do some really great activities. Kayaking, swimming, sailing, art, dance, and white water rafting are just a few things they'll be doing this year. Another really cool thing is the campers are introduced to peer support counselors who are successful young adults living with MS. This gives campers the opportunity to meet older peers who have followed their dreams despite their MS diagnosis.
Thank you so much for your continued support of the F.U.MS events over the years. Your contributions will help send future kids and teens to camp in the coming years. Check out more by clicking here.
