Wholistic Family Fair at Conference Centre A whole lot of fun for the family will be had this Sunday at the Oakville Conference Centre. The fifth annual Wholistic Family Fair for charity will offer people a day full of health-related activities, lectures and demonstrations put on by industry experts. The day will start with a 10:15 a.m. lecture, titled, Is Your Calcium Supplement Killing You? By Dr. Lee Know. Children will have a story time and costume parade, and Whole Foods Market has donated apples as treats for afterwards. Students, teachers or parents can fill out a ballot nominating a school of their preference for a chance to win a $1,000 anti-bullying program that will be awarded to one Oakville school. The school with the most nominations by the end of the day will win. People will also have a chance at winning health-related prizes through a silent auction. General admission is $10. Children aged six and under get in free of charge. The event runs from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. There is a $2 early bird admission for those arriving between 9:3010 a.m. Admission is free after 4 p.m. The conference centre is located at 2515 Wyecroft Rd.

Car rally supports important research Continued from page 26 27 · Thursday, October 27, 2011 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com The foundation is named after Jesse Davidson, a London man who lost his life to DMD at age 29, just the day before the 2009 race. For more information, visit online at www.jessesjourney.com. "It's a very family-friendly event," Lindsay said of the rally and auction while lauding the support that he and his wife get every year from family and friends. The auction, which drew close to 500 guests last year, features about 200 items donated by local businesses and individuals, including everything from tickets to Hamilton Bulldog games or the Ontario Science Centre to gift certificates and sports memorabilia. This year, several pieces of equipment autographed by hockey great Mario Lemieux will be up for auction. Also new this year will be live entertainment by Semitone, a Burlington- "He's living it and he's beating it, and that's pretty cool." Ted Lindsay, Eric's uncle based band composed of two acoustic guitar players who will entertain the crowd with classic rock. Lindsay said those who come out to support Eric's Amazing Race can be assured that their support is having an impact. "Literally, every dollar makes a difference, " he said, adding that he's convinced that research into the disorder has enabled his nephew to remain agile and mobile rather than bound to a wheelchair. "He's living it and he's beating it, and that's pretty cool," he said of Eric's battle with DMD. According to Rick Moss, managing director of Jesse's Journey, Eric and other boys are involved in a 52-week double blind study headed up by Dr. Craig Campbell at the Children's Hospital in London. Eric gets shots there every week to help with muscle regeneration. Moss said the study will prove helpful for those suffering from other neuromuscular diseases, such as ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) and MS (Multiple Sclerosis). He added that funds raised at Eric's Amazing Race have been a great support for research and trials that are helping improve the lives of close to 2,000 boys afflicted with DMD across Canada.
