DetroitRedWings.com’s Jonathan Mills reports that Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen helped address the issue of pediatric cancer on Thursday night:
On Thursday night, Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen stopped by Walled Lake Northern High School in Commerce Township, Mich., for the varsity girls volleyball Gold Out game between Walled Lake Northern and Kettering High School to help kick off Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, as part of the American Cancer Society Gold Together Champions Michigan campaign, presented by the Detroit Red Wings Foundation.
“Whether you’re a pro athlete or anyone in the spotlight, you can help different causes or have a voice,” Rasmussen said on Thursday. “I think it’s important.”
Rasmussen added that being part of the state-wide campaign “means a lot.”
“I think it affects everyone in their own way, personally or someone they know,” Rasmussen said. “It means finding a cure for cancer and helping people with cancer.”
