MOUNT UNIACKE: A young boy and his family who is battling Ewing Sarcoma disease is getting a boost from the community.
Keelin is fighting Ewing Sarcoma, which is a cancer that that affects children/young adults.
He has traveled with his parents to Penn State Children’s Hospital in the U.S last March for a consultation with a Doctor in hopes they can better treat his cancer.
They are now fundraising to cover the cost of his chemo drugs that are $7000 a month that Blue Cross has denied covering.
Drs in the U.S have prescribed these meds but Canada will not support his treatment.
In the meantime, the community of Mount Uniacke and area is stepping up.

A touch-a-truck fundraiser event is being planned for Nov. 16.
It will take place at the Uniacke & District Fire Hall in Mount Uniacke from 1-3 p.m.
There will be baked goods and silent auction items up for grabs, plus those attending will get toe xplore and sit in some fire trucks. What is better than that?
A bouncy castle is also going to be setup so bring the family for some fun in support of Kellin and his family.
Let’s show Keelin and his family how much we’re behind this little warrior!
