I noticed this event when posted, well because i have Multiple Sclerosis.

Eight years after being diagnosed it is fair to say it has surely disabled me now.

It is a nasty sneaky disease. Not many suffer it on this forum but most people know of someone who has been devastated by it.

With the proceeds going to the MS society and prizes, i wish you the best.

Unfortunately due to MS my condition prevents me from attending.

Good Luck

My brother has MS and I would love to attend but recent surgery prevents me from doing so, this year.

 

I hope that some members can find the time.

Friends:

 

This illness is a cruel one. It affects SO MANY CANADIANS...3 people everyday are diagnosed in Canada alone.

Doug is a friend of mine. He is also a fellow fisheman, hunter, husband and father of two little girls and one of our protectors of ontario's natural resources..Ie: Conservation Officer.

 

Unfortunately though, Doug has been diagnosed with the Primary Progressive MS, which means his illness will progress and get worse and worse as time goes on. It can be very quick or take time...but there is no treatment and no cure at this time. For him

his legs and balance are affected most and he has trouble doing the simplest of things sometimes, ie: walking down/up stairs, walking on the ice, in the bush, running, playing with his kids.

 

He is still working though, he is still living his life and he has the best attitude I have ever seen!

 

Anyway, this derby is to help him fight back, to help him raise awareness and to help him try and find a cure!

 

I hope all of you that can...will join me at this derby. ALL the proceeds go to the MS Society...and hey it will be an amazing day of fishing! What more could we ask for.

 

I also hope that any of you that can...might consider donating some prizes!
