One More Year

Fast Tracks Invests in Compassionate Care.

For the entire month of September, 10% of all Fast Tracks sales will be donated in Lionel Strang's name to the Psychosocial Oncology Clinic at the Princess Margaret Hospital. As have many others, all of us here at Fast Tracks have been inspired by Lionel Strang. Two years ago, Lionel was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer almost to the day. He was told two years ago he would not be around for another year. The people telling him this did not know Lionel very well...

Many of us in the Model Railroading community have followed Lionel Strang for years on Facebook, and before that, as an author for Model Railroader. He has provided a steady diet of most entertaining posts almost daily. We were shocked when he announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer and that his outlook was unfavorable. Since then, he has lived his life in the most inspirational manner. The daily Facebook posts have become a mix of humorous, gut-wrenching, inspirational, but always positive. Lionel frequently reminds us, "there are many people far worse off..." usually before hitting the road on his Harley for a 3000-mile ride.

Recently Lionel announced he was starting a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for a service he is very fond of, the Psychosocial Oncology Clinic at the Princess Margaret Hospital. We thought we would help ensure he reaches his goal!
