  GREAT BALLS OF FIRE EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT Alas, in light of rising COVID numbers in Ontario and the pall that this has cast upon London's slowly-recovering bar scene, Tanja and I have made a decision to postpone our Great Balls of Fire fundraiser. If you've purchased tickets, you have a few options open to you. 1. Hold onto them, and present them when we re-schedule. We'll keep the Eventbrite ticket sales page alive (but suspend further ticket sales), so you won't be forgotten. 2. Head to the ticketting site and click on 'refund'. I've changed the 'no refunds' policy to 'refunds on a case-by-case basis. If you need a refund, we'll sort you out personally. 3. You can always decide to let your ticket purchase be a donation to our cause! We're keeping the donation page open. We've raised $1425 so far on this page, and we thank you so much for contributing to this worthwhile cause. Stay tuned! Great Balls of Fire will be back.

  Hey All:    It's been nearly two years since we lost Nick. Although it hasn't exactly been getting any easier - we'll never be "OK" with our situation - we've been hard at work, keeping Nick's memory alive and trying to raise awareness and money for the support of cancer therapies, particularly in young adults.     Despite the prevailing pandemic, we've managed to secure a venue for this year's Great Balls of Fire fundraiser - Old East 765 Bar and Grill, located at 765 Dundas St. We'll be adhering strictly with all regulations regarding COVID-19: this is a limited seating event, with tickets available exclusively online - though the bar may be able to shoehorn a couple more seats into the room if needs be.    Tickets are available at www.lhsf.ca/greatballsoffire . If you can't make it to our event, donations are much appreciated, and can be made through this site as well.    The following is an excerpt from a beautiful post by one of Nick
