Plympton-Wyoming mayoral candidate suggests using mayor powers to pick top staff
LCCVI students going 100 km for Frazer
May 12, 2021
Four LCCVI students are pitching in to help a young Forest boy facing significant medical problems.
Jace McGrail, Victor Tang, Ty Moffat and Trevor Syer will be running, rollerblading and biking 25 km each – 100 km combined – of the Reece’s Corners to Wyoming Trail Saturday raising money for Frazer Anderson.
The nine-year-old went to an eye appointment in April because he had double vision and headaches. Doctors found a tumour. It’s been removed and it’s benign. McGrail says the family is still dealing with complications. So, the teens decided to help.
“We just thought that there’s nothing else going on right now. And we’re doing lots of workouts here anyways, so we might as well put our workouts to good use and help somebody in need,” he says.
The friends will complete the event Saturday. Donation cheques can be made out to Tim and Jess Anderson or etransfered to Stevemcgrail@hotmail.com. Everything raised will go directly to the family.
