Dear Friend,
It goes without saying that the communities we live in support anything that has to do with hockey. I experience that commitment every day in the work I do as the head hockey coach for NMU. Now I’m excited to invite you to rally around another one of my passions… cancer survival. Many may not know that I am a two-time cancer survivor. It takes internal determination, a great team of medical staff, and the support of a community to help patients successfully make it through cancer treatment.
Join me, this year’s NMU hockey team and my partners off the ice, River Valley Bank, as we walk together for the Fifth Annual Walt Kyle Mile ~ River Valley Bank Cancer Walk.
The event takes place on Saturday, August 25, 2012. Donations will be going to help sponsor cancer patients living at the Beacon House during their treatments. The Beacon House serves as a home away from home for people who are sick or families who want to be near loved ones while they’re in the hospital.
As an added incentive to participate River Valley Bank is contributing a $2500 match for all community contributions!
To pre-register visit the website or come to the Berry Event Center at NMU at 8 am on Saturday, August 25th. If you have any questions, email Mary.
Update: We’ll start walking at 9 am with my team leading off.
I will personally be there to celebrate my own survival and to support others fighting the disease. I look forward to walking with you on the 25th!
Walt Kyle
