Lappy Gives Cancer Patient Birthday Gift

Lappy just keeps on giving to this community. If you saw his recent appearance on Altitude's One on One you know that he realized the power he has as a pro athlete and decided to try to use that power to help other people. For what ever reason the Avs did not trade Lappy at the deadline. There is little doubt that Lappy would make this effort in any community, he just happens to be in ours. A rare bright spot in a rough season.
Thanks Lappy.

Altitude's One on One with Ian Laperriere

This road trip has been brutal for Avs fans. What could possibly cheer me up? I know! Tune into catch Lappy, One on One! Should be good!

First show airs on March 2nd at 10:30PM. Might want to watch it or record it before the March the 4th...cause if they trade him it might get pulled from the schedule.

But that is just me being paranoid...right?

Here is the schedule on Altitude
