Hit the Switch - How Dave Morell and HIS family found strength in surviving cancer

For over 50 years, Dave Morell has been a pillar in the community, but perhaps he is most recognized as the voice of sports broadcasting in Fredericton.

However, his life changed drastically when he was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. He and his family are sharing their story of courage, survival and teamwork in their candid struggle against losing hope and finding one other.

The foundation, in partnership with Dave and his family, are selling limited-quantities of his book Hit the Switch - One Family’s Journey Through Cancer.
