Docs On Ice 2008:
Please Support the Cause

By Dr. Peter W. Kujtan, B.Sc., M.D., Ph.D.

Article printed on page 11

Breast cancer can be beaten. It involves a collaboration of Family Physicians, Oncologists, Geneticists, and Radiologists, Patholigists and specialized nurses, counsellors, skilled technologists and others on the medical side. But it also requires the help of family members, friends, clergy and society as a whole.

A group of local doctors have decided to put their sticks where their stethoscopes are. Hockey simply got more votes than the Full-Monty Doctor Calendar. So, this Wednesday, February 13th, 2008, at 5 p.m. at the Hershey Centre, the Mississauga News and the St. Mike's Majors will be presenting "Docs On Ice".

My own Bandage Clad Blades coached by NHL great, Johnny Bower, have challenged Dr. Dennis Izukawa's Tyrannical Titans, coached by the legendary Dick Duff, to a duel on ice. The ice is sure to turn pink as we duel for the coveted Golden Bedpan with proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Foundation. For a mere $8.00, you can cheer on your favorite doc, raise funds for breast cancer, meet a famous Maple Leaf Stanley Cup Champion, and even stay to watch the St. Mike's Junior Game at no extra cost. And it's all thanks to Mr. Ron Lenyk of the Mississauga News, one of the most valuable, community spirited individuals in our city. Mr. Eugene Melnyk has also pledged to match every dollar raised for this noble cause. Together, we can make a difference. Donations can be made out to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and are tax deductible. They can be dropped off at the Mississauga News office. We hope to see you there!
