DURHAM -- Friends and family are coming to the aid of an Ajax couple.
A fundraiser will be held later this month to help raise money for Mike Gregorack's medical expenses. A year ago, the father of two was diagnosed with ASL, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. In November he is travelling to China to undergo costly stem cell therapy, which is not covered by OHIP. One hundred per cent of the contributions will go to his medical expenses.

The Sept. 28 event features appetizers, a cash bar and a silent auction. The latter includes an authentic Guy Lafleur signed jersey, Boston Bruins versus Toronto Leaf tickets, an Adam Foote signed jersey, a Kyle Wellwood signed stick and many other items.

The fundraiser is at Papps restaurant, 1755 Pickering Pkwy., Pickering, and starts at 7 p.m.

If you are unable to attend but still want to make a donation, send a cheque or money order to Mike or Donna Gregorack at 51 Gregory Rd., Ajax, Ontario, L1S 3B5.
