The family of Sam Rizzo is determined to create a meaningful legacy to the businessman who championed city causes.
Rizzo, who died one year ago next week, suffered through almost a year of esophageal cancer that required a number of magnetic resonance imaging scans or MRIs.
Now, his children want to ensure that other families don�t have to endure the difficult trips to Hamilton, London or even Buffalo to get MRIs.
The Rizzos have organized the Sam Rizzo 2005 Memorial Gala, an invitation-only, $150-a-ticket event at the Brantford Golf and Country Club to raise money for an MRI machine at Brantford General Hospital.
�You don�t realize what you need until you actually need it,� said Rizzo�s daughter, Michelle Fergus.
�When you have to watch a loved one as sick as our father was, you�d do anything to help them and, because of our loss, we don�t want other families to go through what we did."

Hi Q-jumpers. Can I find any information on http://www.livechathelp.com here? My friend said to check out MRI needed for Brantford - the citizen's initiative for information on credit card debt but this does not seem like the most relevant of blogs. I like cruzing through your site but maybe search engines might have more information. Need to come back later though...great blogs!
