Local Event: Skating for a Good Cause in Richmond BC
Before the winter recreational skating season winds down, get out to your local rink for a few more laps. If you live in Richmond, BC there’s a very good reason to get out to a public skate early next month. The Scleroderma Association of British Columbia is holding the annual Spencer Skate for Scleroderma on April 5, 2009.
The event raises funds and awareness for Scleroderma, a chronic autoimmune disease that hardens skin and organs over time. Richmond resident, Denise Kostach, started the event in honour of her mother who lost her battle with Scleroderma last year. Donations raised at the skate go towards research for the disease.
