One of our colleagues needs your help.
Lucas Spata, just 35 years old, of the Vancouver Canucks marketing team is losing his three-year battle with micro cell cancer. He is presently in a hospice in Vancouver and soon he will leave behind a young widow and a three-year-old son.
His family faces an emotional battle and a financial one. But many people have stepped forward, including the Canucks organization, to help.
Lucas is a good friend of a good friend of mine, which is why I decided to help spread the appeal for more help. He is a valuable contributor to our industry. Most of you don’t know him. Personally, I’ve only met him once, but his story is a tragic reminder of how fortunate many of us are.
Take a moment to read his story and send some support. It doesn’t have to be money. While donations are needed, so is support, including just telling others and sharing his story.
Read on about Lucas — I’m sure you will touched by his unbelievable concern for others, despite knowing his own fate is sealed.
