West Kootenay roller derby players are coming together to help one of their own.
They’re hosting an event in Rossland on Sunday to benefit the family of a 17-month-old boy battling cancer.
Organizer Valerie Rossi says Kirsten Stevenson’s son Dax was recently diagnosed with neuroblastoma.
“Derby for Dax” is Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Rossland arena and will see players lace up for an exhibition match.
Rossi says local derby players haven’t had much of a chance to face each other since the league folded last year.
