We can all do our part for cancer
On my “Hockey Fights Cancer” card Wednesday were three of the best and wisest men I’ve ever known.
My dad, who passed away in 1974, plus two current battlers: my good friend and teammate Peter Johns and Senators GM Bryan Murray.
Everybody had people they thought of on “Hockey Fights Cancer” night at Canadian Tire Centre.
Hours before the Senators wore purple jerseys in the warmup to bring awareness to the war against cancer, coach Dave Cameron told members of the media that it killed two of his aunts and an uncle between the ages of 45-50. He mentioned the late Mark Reeds, who was his assistant coach, Murray, and two more survivors, his brother and a lady who ran his hockey school back home.
“I don’t think I’m any different than anybody else,” said Cameron. “We’re all touched by it. It knows no boundaries.”
I like to think that cancer can be beaten, and the odds improve if we follow a plan Cameron laid out for his team earlier in the week.
