F@#K CANCER!!!! Have a Skate with Bob and Rockford Icehogs

I'm sure one of us knows someone or even has someone in their family that has been taken by pancreatic cancer.  I personally know two angels that are in heaven that were taken by this horrible cancer.  I have a fellow friend that has started a great hockey charity event in regards to help raise money for research for pancreatic cancer called Have a Skate with Bob Foundation


The foundation first came about in 07' when Bob's daughter Rachel suggested having a hockey game in honor of her late mother, Becky, that had passed away from pancreatic cancer.  Last year, they partnered up with AHL Rockford IceHogs to hold Have A Skate With Bob and the Rockford IceHogs, in honor of their late friend Tom Jacobson and Becky Klem....raising over $15,000 for pancreatic cancer research.   This past March....they also partnered with the Central Hockey League's Missouri Mavericks, raising over $9,000 for pancreatic cancer research. 
  

Here's a video of last year's Rockford game.

  1. I honestly had no idea this was in honor of Tom Jacobson and Becky Klem (nor did I know either of them). I always assumed this event was for someone named Bob.

    'Fuck Cancer' is a great slogan and this certainly seems like a great cause (and an ever growing one as well)!
