This Year's Beneficiary

Adriana Davis -
Mike and Danielle Davis’ daughter Adriana was born full term & healthy. At three months old she had a seizure which was found to be a stroke. She was sent home on seizure medication & at 4 months old she had another seizure which was a second stroke. This time with further testing she was diagnosed with Moyamoya disease. She was taken by ambulance to Detroit. Ten days later she had a third stroke. The next day she had surgery on the right side of her brain & 2 months later on the left side. The amazing part was the surgery involved taking a vein that supplied her scalp with blood & laying it on her brain, because she was a baby & her brain is still growing that vein will form new veins like a vine. Now at age 3 1/2 she has good blood flow but the Moyamoya vessels will always be there so she needs to stay hydrated & is on blood thinners. She has right sided weakness & cannot walk or talk but has shown some improvement of both & lots of potential. She is in preschool now at Ross park elementary. She is truly a miracle.

About the Guns and Hoses

In late 2002, Jon Baker of the Muskegon Police Department approached Todd Rake of the Muskegon Fire Department with the idea of putting on a charity hockey game. The idea was to use a hockey game between police (guns) and fire (hoses) as a fun way for those in the emergency response field to give to children in the community. They also saw an opportunity to reinforce the positive influence firefighters, police officers, medics and other emergency response personnel have as role models in Muskegon County. With the help of volunteers and players from over 30 departments including police, fire, corrections, EMS, hospital ER and US Coast Guard the idea took off and the Muskegon County Guns and Hoses Charity Hockey Game became a reality.
