Hello - It’s been a while since I’ve been back to this site and updated it. I have been meaning to update this site for a while, however, there have been a lot of things going on in the past 6 months that I wanted to update everyone on.
After Crystal passed away, I felt that it was really important to stay involved in the community around Melanoma Awareness. During Crystal’s battle with Cancer - her husband Anthony was introduced to an amazing charity organization call Memory’s Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to helping families in Calgary that have been affected by cancer as well as raise awareness around Cancer research in partnership with the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
I have joined this organization and been working with Memory’s Foundation now for over 6 months and will continue to do so in Crystal’s honour. Please visit www.faceoffagainstcancer.org for more information around Memory’s Foundation.
I would also like everyone to know that in September, Memory’s Foundation hosts an annual hockey tournament to help raise money towards Malignant Melanoma Research.
This year’s tournament is in honour of Crystal. We will have a team in honour of Crystal (just finalizing the name of the team) and will keep everyone posted. If there are any hockey players that are interested in playing for Crystal’s team, please let me know.
I will update this information soon with more details around the event, however, in the meantime you can visit www.faceoffagainstcancer.org for more details.
Once I have officially created Crystal’s Team, we will be looking for pledges for our team - as this year’s tournament is dedicated to Crystal, I would love to see our team raise the most money of the 24 teams involved! Any donation is tax deductable. Again - I’ll send an updated post soon on more information.
Best Regards,
Marco
