We are friends of JAMES MICHAEL (aka "Mike" or "MOOSE") MILLER. Mike was diagnosed with Leukemia (AML) in January of 2012 and has been undergoing constant treatment ever since. Although insured, there are still gaps to fill financially and we are attempting to help fill those gaps with this first-ever MOOSEFEST Raffle. We have several nice prizes awaiting some lucky winner, so enjoy what you see and check back for more additional information as it becomes available...
