Western New York woman needs help achieving stardom

A Western New York woman has been waiting 32 years for this moment, but she needs your help.

Ashley Lynn has been a big fan of Rob Ray, a former professional ice hockey player for the Buffalo Sabres and Ottawa Senators, for several years.

Ray is currently a Canadian sportscaster and has received several accolades over the years, including the NHL’s King Clancy Memorial Trophy in 1999 for his leadership and humanitarianism.

He left a lasting impression on several Sabres fans over the years, including Ashley Lynn, who is on a mission to meet Rob Ray this week.

Lynn celebrates his 32nd birthday on Thursday, July 11, and if you’re a Rob Ray fan, you already know that he wore number 32 during his time with the Buffalo Sabres.

This means that this year Lynn is celebrating her “Rob Ray Birthday,” but she would love to take a photo with Rob to celebrate the big 3-2!

Lynn shared this post with the Bills Mafia Babes, asking for their help with this task:

“I’ve been crazy about Rob Ray since I was about 5 years old.

Tomorrow I turn 32, his number. I call it my Rob Ray birthday.

I want a picture with him so bad. (I have over 100)

But tomorrow is my birthday Rob Ray.

Open to any help!

“I have waited 32 years for this day.”

Lynn gave us permission to share the post outside of the group, in hopes of making her birthday wish come true!

Many people have stories about Rob Ray and how kind and genuine he is to everyone who has met him. Do you think he could make that happen for Ashley Lynn?
