When Matthew Phillips, the Executive Director of Operations for the hotel&#8217;s ownership group Aurora Hotel Group, learned of the family\u2019s challenges, he knew our community would want to help them out.<\/p>\n<p>Sonia is caregiver to both of her children and her husband, Tony. Her son Cosimo, 22, has both a seizure and a learning disorder; Alessia, 13, has a mitochondrial disease; and Tony has Progressive Secondary Multiple Sclerosis and couldn\u2019t make the trip with his family.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips donated their accommodations and the community generosity spiraled from there into a full two-and-a-half days of activities, from August 15-17, including a morning at Shizen Spa for Sonia, a trip to Muskoka Heritage Place for Alessia and Cosimo, and a family cruise on the Wenonah II steamship in Gravenhurst.<\/p>\n<p>Their favourite activity? Fishing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never in a million years thought I would say I loved fishing, but it was just so much fun,\u201d laughed Sonia, who even caught a fish. None of them had been fishing before and both Alessia and Cosimo thought that Sonia\u2019s screaming dance when she thought a worm had landed on her head was a highlight. And Cosimo delighted in being able to pilot the pontoon boat across Fairy Lake.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-18883 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-gallery-block'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/08\/Commisso-family-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/08\/Commisso-family-1-214x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"Alessia Commisso and Steve Borden\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-19018\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-19018'>\n\t\t\t\tAlessia (left) tries her hand at fishing with the advice of Steve Borden\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/08\/Commisso-family-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/08\/Commisso-family-2-214x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"Sonia and Cosimo Commisso\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-19019\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-19019'>\n\t\t\t\tSonia (left) and Cosimo enjoyed their first time fishing.
