Imagine having a disease so rare
that the treatment itself is still being developed. Such
is the case with eight-year-old Nicklas Harkins and other
kids like him who suffer from MPS (Mucopolysaccharide). Thanks
to Nicklas'
parents,
and a few former NHL hockey players, that one day may all change.
The 2nd annual MPS CUP Fantasy Hockey Game and Gala took
place
last Saturday
at
the NS Winter
Club. It was a chance for Nicklas and others to play with
the NHL stars during an afternoon charity game. Later a gala
auction helped add to the already $40,000 raised last year
in the fight against this terrible disease.

With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would
quickly exceed the amount of memory needed. If you would like to receive a copy
of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the
details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number
and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for
security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures
to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo.
Thanks. |
