The family of Steve Mesic, the man shot and killed by Hamilton police last June, is raffling off a motorcycle to raise money for a charity that deals with mental health issues.
Steve Mesic had just checked himself out of a health care program at St. Joseph’s Hospital, when he was shot dead by police. His family says the raffle is just one way to keep Steve’s memory alive.

Steve’s former fiance Sharon Dorr: “It’s going towards an organization called the second chance house. It’s for people who are having difficulty with menal health and are in crisis. So it’s a relief house for them. and it’s actually in memory of Steve.”

The raffle will continue until April. Anyone wanting to buy tickets or donate to the charity can also do so by logging onto www.rememberingstevemesic.ca.
