A Ball Park Radio (www.ballparkradio.com) broadcast of bothgames is in the final stages and looks to be on track. Keep checking for more updates. We encourage all players, fans andcoaches not only from the GHFL but from all fastball leagues to come down for anight of fastball in one of the most beautiful parks in Ontario and helpsupport a good cause. Storm's Deliwill be on hand serving up hot food and soft drinks and you can purchasetickets to be used to bid on donated items (including a brand new Wilson gloveand an Easton ball bag and many more). Also, both the California Lumberkings and the GHFL will be creating T-Shirts to commemorate the night, these will be available to purchase as well.
Proceeds from the gate and several activities at the parkincluding a 50-50 draw, silent auction and souvenir sales will be donated to Melissa Brideau. Melissa is the long time girlfriend of Niagara Falls Furyplayer Tommy Watkinson who has played ball in the Niagara Falls Men's Leaguefor the past 15 years. Melissa is stricken with a very aggressive from ofMultiple Sclerosis. Melissa is 35 years old and has reached a point in herillness where a wheelchair or scooter have become her source of mobility.Melissa is having no luck with North American treatment and is traveling toVenezuela in late April to seek treatment from world renowned specialist Dr.Yepetz utilizing rainforest natural therapy. As one can imagine this is a verycostly endeavor but one that needs to be explored now. Dr. Yepetz hassuccessfully reversed the effects of MS in many patients and Melissa feels thistype of treatment is one of the few remaining options available for her. Iftreatments go well, Melissa will in all probability be revisiting Venezuelamultiple times.
