Barrett in the Fight of His Life

Ratz Player Wayne Barrett Needs our Hopes and Prayers

Back Bay, NB - A lot of people who play in the league may not know Wayne Barrett. He was an original Ratz guy from way back and has been battling the disease that seems to be all too common these days and that is cancer. During his battle, he has had several ups and downs and is currently suffering a setback that is causing great difficulty for the big guy. To further complicate the issue, infection is playing a part in him being able to fight the cancer.

These things have a way of waking people up and help them realize there are more important things than what you are facing in your life and that others are not as fortunate as you. We all do it and we all need to stop and think about what we're doing. A flat tire or a scratch on our car is really not that big of a deal. I know it is an old saying but it fits, "At least you have your health."

Those of you who do know Wayne know he is a no-nonsense tough as nails type guy who will not take this without a fight. Still, the Ratz and the FIHL family are asking that you include Wayne and his family in your thoughts and prayers as he needs all the help he can get.
