When I was four years old my father introduced me to ice hockey. I was a VERY early riser at that age and my parents were looking for an activity that would start early in the morning and be a good physical outlet. Ice hockey fit the bill. I fell in love with the sport and because of my Dad I became a die-hard NY Rangers fan. Watching and playing hockey has been a bonding activity for my dad and I for as long as I can remember. Several years ago, I began participating in the RCCS Hockey fundraiser because my father introduced me to the incredible work this organization does. As many of you know, my father was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer this week. I have to admit this diagnosis has shaken me to my core and I am looking for ways in which I can be both useful and harness my nervous energy in a healthy way. I am trying to raise $18,000 in honor of my dad and the road that lies ahead. I would so appreciate any donation- nothing is too small- and will mean so much to me.
I want to thank you for being part of our community and amazing network of support. We are so incredibly lucky to have you as part of Team Ari.
May we only know from smachot!
