Laughs for Leukemia and Lymphoma

Ryan Joudrey

A Maitland man is coming home to Lunenburg County to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. Ryan Joudrey was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia nine years ago, but has since beat the disease. Now, the 30-year-old Joudrey lives in Halifax and is hoping to raise funds through comedy to help patients and families who have been affected by the disease. He says it will be an entertaining night with a variety of different comedians. The Stand-up Comedy Fundraiser will take place at the Bridgewater Days Inn October 15 at 8pm. Advance tickets are available for $10 at the Days Inn or $15 at the door. Tune into South Shore Sunday Morning October 9 to hear Ryan's full interview.
