For the Love of Gavin

The young star that has brought so many in the
community together for the good of helping him battle his rare disease, Gavin
Myers, was in with the noodles as a pasta dinner was held Sunday at the
Wurtemburg Perry Fire Hall. The benefit event began at 11:00am Sunday morning,
but with lines quickly forming, seats going fast, and spaghetti being served
even faster, the event that was scheduled to last until 4:00pm was called short
because of the spaghetti completely selling out. Many in attendance came after
their church service and with big appetites, buying a plate “for the love of
Gavin”
Gavin Myers is the infant son of Rick and Shannon
Myers of Ellwood City who most recently was brought home from Round 3 of
chemotherapy for Neuroblastoma, a rare
form of cancer. Gavin and his family also received a surprise last week at
Children’s Hospital when member of the Pittsburgh Penguins, including Sidney
Crosby, stopped by to visit. (http://helpbabygavin.wordpress.com/events/)
Many area businesses sponsored the benefit event
that also had tickets drawn for Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu jerseys. For more
information on upcoming events, including a Cash Bash in March, and how you can
