The Third Annual Have a Skate with Bob and Rockford Icehogs.......as the saying goes F@#K CANCER!

Hey there readers......just so you are aware November is pancreatic awareness month! I'm sure one of us knows someone or even has someone in their family that has been taken by this .  Here's something interesting according to mayoclinic.com...... Pancreatic cancer typically spreads rapidly and is seldom detected in its early stages, which is a major reason why it's a leading cause of cancer death. Signs and symptoms may not appear until pancreatic cancer is quite advanced and surgical removal isn't possible. 


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.  Two years ago, 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.  It has grown since then with the help of Bob Klem, Chris Zion, Jack Goldberg, and Ron Kelly


 Here is the info for game this year!
