Earlier on ODN:
Mike Watson, Constellation Brands National Viticulturalist –
Local Viticulturalist with Constellation Brands in Oliver, Mike Watson, has been diagnosed with a rare liver condition and urgently needs a transplant. He has been given 6 months to live. He lives in Kaleden and is a father of 3 young kids. As of today, his specialist in Penticton has indicated that he may need a transplant within the week as he is experiencing complications due to blood clots. His family is looking at all options internationally to expedite the procedure, but costs are in the $100,000 range so friends and family are fundraising.
If you can make any kind of donation – this truly could save a life.
Note: Michael Watson and his wife, Lisa Needoba, were grade one through grade twelve students from Oliver. Both graduated from SOSS. They really need all the support they can get.
