MOVEMBER

The Durham College and UOIT athletic department continues to make a strong commitment to the local community through involvement

This month, student-athletes Kyle MacKinnon (Durham College baseball) and TJ Legge (UOIT hockey) are taking part in the “Movember” challenge, bringing much needed attention to prostate cancer.  The two athletes are doing this by growing a Moustache this November, and raising funds to go towards Prostate Cancer Canada.

Fans can follow Kyle’s and TJ’s progress online on www.durhamlords.com and www.uoitridgebacks.com, as the websites will be posting weekly pictures.
