J.R. is our friend. About 2 months ago (we were at Pickering regatta), his 3 year old neice, Zoe Gottwald, saw their neighbour out cutting the grass with a riding lawn mower and ran out to say hi. He yelled to her to stop and hit the emergency cut-off but it was too late. Zoe's leg slid under the blade. Three years old.

She was airlifted to Sick Kids where they tried to save her leg. Unfortunately, it had to be amputated below the knee. She and her mom, Jason's sister Denise, have been living at Bloorview Rehab Centre and doing well.

Sick Kids is all about the children and the Roussels want to say thanks for all the amazing care Zoe received. They're hosting a golf tournament on September 9 - 12:30 shotgun start at CedarBrae Golf and Country Club to raise money for Sick Kids.  The money will help other children get to the same great care. The plan is to raise $25,000.00

Mark the date on your calendar and get a foursome together. They're also looking for prizes and hole sponsors. If you don't golf or can't make it, please consider a donation. There'll be a website up soon with more information and they'll be sending out invitations

Please Find Zoe Gottwald on facebook and become her friend. Look for the event on my profile and rsvp. They'll have links to the website and updates soon.
