Everybody has been affected by cancer in one way or another.
Last year when I was involved in this event, my brother Mike was going through chemotherapy at Roswell to fight Stage 3 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
This year, Mike is 100% cancer free and will be playing alongside me because of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and events like the 11 Day Power Play that continually invest in cancer research and treatment possibilities.
This summer, more than 2,500 pairs of skates will hit the ice to play in the 2019 11 Day Power Play Community Shift to help in the fight against cancer! The 11-day game will be played in continuous shifts at Harborcenter in Buffalo, NY. This important event supports The 11 Day Power Play, raising critically-needed funds for cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park, Camp Good Days and Make-A-Wish WNY. While it is physically challenging to play in a marathon hockey game, it's a walk in the park compared to what most endure in their battle against cancer. Cancer is a disease that touches everyone, and The 11 Day Power Play wants to make an impact in our community. In the past two years, The 11 Day Power Play has raised nearly $2.5 million supporting cancer causes in Western New York.
