Mac's team : A bull roast and auction is scheduled Oct. 19 at Michael's Eighth Avenue to help pay medical costs for Cormac "Mac" Murray, 3, the son of Brian and Aimee Murray of Sykesville. The child has been diagnosed with metachromatic leukodystrophy, a rare disease that affects the nervous system and for which there is no known cure. Last year, friends calling themselves "Mac's Team" held a fundraiser for research and to help the Murrays with medical expenses. Proceeds will go to the Murray family.
