It s a childhood tradition and one that Devon MacNeil s mom doesn t take for granted.
As kids gathered with their sleds on a small, snow-covered hill in Sydney, N.S., on Tuesday, 12-year-old Devon was there, too, with his custom sled a gift from strangers. He smiles. He loves it. He laughs, said Devon s mother, Nichol MacNeil. I ve even let him go down half the hill by himself and he s just full of laughs. It s a lot of fun.
