This brave little superhero is facing 52 weeks of intensive daily radiation and chemotherapy in a Toronto hospital.
The Pasta Dinner fundraiser tickets are currently sold out, but everyone is welcome to support by playing in this tournament.
If you are unable to attend, donations are also greatly appreciated.
