If you have some time on Wednesday morning or later in the week the students of E.C. Drury High School on Ontario St. are holding a fundraiser for two of their students and their families.

You can participate in these events and contribute in funds and bone marrow testing to help Zach and other cancer patients.

Unfortunately 18 year old Jeff Roy passed away last weekend from leukemia.

The organizers hope you can help the families and other victims of cancer through your donation and becoming a bone marrow donor. Check Tuesday's Champion for more details on these and other events.

Our condolences to Jeff Roy's family and friends for the passing of their loved one.Can't even imagine the death of a child.Heartbreaking.

Not knowing either of these boys, their story has touched many.
I just wanted to share for those who will not make it out to E.C Drury on Wednesday that you can go to http://www.onematch.ca
and they will send you a swab kit in the mail to be returned and you will be entered in their data bank.I really had no idea how easy it is to get tested.You never know , you could end up saving someone's life.
