October 2, 20178 yr Just looking at the list of donors... Cvety and Westerman have each put in $200 and Andrew Hawkins contributed $1000... nice to see support from fellow teammates and opponents... I'll contribute but I can't say I have to spare funds to match Cvety and Westy
October 3, 20178 yr I read a great article about this injury and the way the CFL handles its player's medical expenses. Worth reading. Linked here, from the Ottawa Citizen. Wishing Hefney all the best. Guy was a great player for us. Edited October 3, 20178 yr by aalgernon
October 3, 20178 yr Many thanks to Rich, Mike, and the other members of this site that helped to make this happen. Surgery isn't cheap.
October 3, 20178 yr Hefney was one of my favorite bombers of all time and he currently needs our help. His players insurance ran out and still needs another surgery to be able to use his right hand. For a right handed man this must be devastating. I think he would make an awesome DB's coach once he can get use of his arm back. http://ottawacitizen.com/sports/football/cfl/costs-benefits-jonathan-hefneys-injury-odyssey-shows-plight-of-athletes-in-canada https://www.gofundme.com/4ik88e0

I can DM Milt, Suits and Dunigan and see if they are aware. If this went Canada wide I am guessing Hef will raise enough for not only surgery but also any post-op recuperation/rehab he needs. Which would be fantastic. CFL fans are awesome, I can't ever say that enough times.

October 4, 20178 yr I think both Milt and Matt are listed as donors. Edit: Milt is. I thought I saw Matt there, but can't find it now. Maybe I was thinking of Doug Brown. Edited October 4, 20178 yr by Super Duper Negatron
October 21, 20178 yr few guys in the $1000+ donation range, David Asper, BLM, Andrew Hawkins I see MBB did $80, since I spend so much time on here I just matched that Edited October 21, 20178 yr by brett_c_b

I really enjoy the knowledge, passion, and points of view of the vast majority of the posters here. Well done MBB and thank you brett_c_b.
October 22, 20178 yr I hope he gets what he needs in order to live a relatively pain free/healthy life.
October 26, 20178 yr You may have seen this on the Twitter machine. Sarah Evan, who is the team's RMT is donating her time to do 30 minute massages for a minimum $50 donation to Hefney's cause. Went to see her today and it was well worth it.
He tweeted out a gofundme page for his surgery.
