The power of the human spirit is undeniable! Tyler Huneault is a 10 year old boy who is suffering from a very rare genetic disorder called 'sialidosis'. It is so rare, in fact, that Tyler is the only person in Canada with this condition. Tyler's parents, Perry and Ida, are doing everything they can to ensure that valuable sialidosis research continues at McMaster University, to find the necessary treatments to help their son. At the age of 7, little Emily Tieu heard about Tyler and decided to set up a garage sale, with all proceeds to sialidosis research. Emily is now 11 years old and has raised almost $13,000 for the cause!
Please consider helping 'Tyler's Garage Sale', which is now branching out and getting bigger than ever, with 2 sales coming up, Saturday May 2nd at the Blackburn Community Centre and Saturday May 9th at 1407 McMahon Avenue in Gloucester. Donations of goods and cash can be made through Emily's website. Full details and maps are also here, please go to
And please tune in to the 'Morning After' on 939 BOB FM on Thursday May 7th, where Tyler and his mom Ida will be our special guests in the studio at 8:20 am.
