It was during one of Subha GillB次元官网网址檚 regular hip-hop dance practices that she began to feel a pain in her leg.

Over the weeks, the pain got worse for the 20-year-old, and soon she was making regular trips to the emergency room and to different doctors with her mother, Jeevan Sohi, looking for an explanation for the unexplained pain.

B次元官网网址淣one of the doctors wanted to do tests,B次元官网网址� Sohi said. B次元官网网址淚t was too expensive.B次元官网网址�

When Sohi noticed swelling in her daughterB次元官网网址檚 hip, she took her to the AIM Medical Imaging in Vancouver where Gill was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer.

A recent course of chemotherapy has been unsuccessful and GillB次元官网网址檚 family now wishes to pursue alternative treatments and needs to raise funds to offset the costs of medicine and travel.

Starting at 3 p.m. Friday (April 6) ColwoodB次元官网网址檚 Island Centre of Excellence (ICE) hockey training facility (formerly Puckmasters) will be hosting a two-day fundraiser to help offset these costs. GillB次元官网网址檚 brother Armaan trains at the centre.

ThereB次元官网网址檒l be a 3-on-3 hockey tournament, silent auction, dunk tank, obstacle course, basketball hoops and field games all in the mix.

The silent auction will include paintings, gift certificates and baskets donated by local businesses and a rugby jersey signed by CanadaB次元官网网址檚 national rugby union sevens team.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 going to be an awesome event,B次元官网网址� said co-organizer Jeff Carroll.

There will also be an Indian themed dinner on Friday night, followed later by pizza courtesy of Papa JiB次元官网网址檚 and Great Canon and a pancake breakfast on Saturday morning.

B次元官网网址淭here have been so many people that have come out of nowhere to help us with this,B次元官网网址� Sohi said. B次元官网网址淚 donB次元官网网址檛 know how to thank people.B次元官网网址�
