An 11-year-old Coquitlam minor hockey player is showing his guts raising more than $7,000 to help improve the lives of children and adults affected by Crohn’s Disease and colitis.
Sam Doucet attends Hillcrest middle school and last year was diagnosed with Crohn's, a long-term condition that causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive system.
But despite his illness, Doucet plays goalie for the Coquitlam Chiefs and was a lacrosse player in the city as well.
Doucet will be attending the Gutsy Walk for Crohn's and Colitis on Sunday, June 4.
For more information, to donate and to see who has donated to Doucet's page visit the BC Children's Hospital Team Page at www.gutsywalk.ca.
