Mike's Teammates hasn't added a story.
Welcome to the Michael Soles Fundrazr page. Michael is a former McGill running back football star who helped lead McGill to a National Championship in 1987. His finest moment came in the 1987 Vanier Cup, when he led the underdog McGill team to an upset 47-11 victory over the heavily favoured University of British Columbia, rushing for 203 yards and 2 touchdowns. He won the Ted Morris Memorial Trophy as the game MVP. He was elected to the McGill University Sports Hall of Fame in 2000.
He also played 11 years in the CFL, winning a Grey Cup with Edmonton before playing for his hometown Montreal Alouettes. Michael won the Lew Hayman Trophy in 1996 as best Canadian player in the East.
As you probably are aware, Michael is on year 14 of being afflicted with ALS. The average lifespan of someone stricken with ALS is 2-3 years. The time has come for Michael to be in a long term care facility. These facilities provide basic care, however Michael’s condition also requires some specialty care from private caregivers to ensure his well being. We would like to help pay for it.
We, his concerned friends, are launching the initiative to raise
money for the costs of Michael’s care. The expenses for care giving
are prohibitively high. We are reaching out to you in the hopes of
raising money in an effort to minimize the financial burden.
Our target is $100,000.00. Please
help us reach this goal.
We want to make it clear that the family has not reached out to
us for financial aid.
We also want to be forthright in that this initiative is to help
cover the costs for Michael’s care. It is aimed at helping Michael
and Michael only.
We thank you, his friends and the general public, in advance for
supporting Michael.
Due to the nature of this campaign, no tax receipts will be issued.
With love and thanks,
Hagen Mehnert and Wayne McRae
