Hockey Players and Teams really know how to rally around a fellow teammate as well as network within the fabric of a hockey community. Once again, with the help of Facebook and other various networks, we learn of another story of personal tragedy and need.
Mandi Schwartz is a pretty and young hockey student athete at Yale university. She comes from a whole family of hockey players and has potential to have a brother get drafted in the upcoming entry draft. But in 2008, Mandi was diagnosed with leukemia that was helped by chemotherapy, but not all the way. It has only bought her some more time to look for a bone marrow doner - and just like the countdown of a hockey game clock.... it's running out on Mandi.
Take a minute or two to check out the Facebook page with the link provided and consider donating to the charity that is working hard to keep her alive and well. If you canno afford anything to spare, then consider donating your time to spreading around this facebook page to all of your friends in hopes that they too will do the same to keep the word going out.
As for all survivors and patients stricken with the deadly diseases like cancer and leukemia,
COHF will continue to pray and support these brave men and women.
