SHANE SCORES FOR MAIA
The Lethbridge Hurricanes Hockey Club announced that forward Shane Smith will donate $25 per point to the Canadian CMV Foundation this season. The donation is in honour of his niece, Maia, who was diagnosed with CMV at birth.
“My family and I didn’t know much about congenital CMV (cCMV) until my niece was diagnosed with it at birth. We were shocked to learn that up to 1 in 200 Canadian newborns are affected by cCMV during pregnancy, and that 1 in 5 cases result in a lifelong disability,” shares Smith. “My family and I are committed to raising awareness about cCMV and supporting organizations. I’m thankful for the opportunity to help spread the word.”
The Canadian CMV Foundation is a national charity dedicated to preventing congenital CMV (cCMV) infections and enhancing the well-being of those impacted.
If you would like to join the campaign by matching their donation or providing a donation of any other amount, please contact Kathy at the Hurricanes office via email or by calling 403-380-7507.
