On behalf of my two boys and myself, I need to thank the entire Pickleball community for the donations made to Sloan Kettering on behalf of my wife, Teri Augustover. A special Thank You to Ted Hammershlag who organized, collected and distributed the funds.
Teri finally lost her battle to Colon Cancer after more than 20 years of fighting various forms of the disease which included Leukemia, Lung, Kidney, Throat and Spleen cancers. She absolutely loved this community. Your contributions were overwhelming and indicated that the love was reciprocal.
Sloan Kettering will, of course, use this money wisely in its efforts to find cures for this horrible disease. A portion of the funds was sent back to me in the form of restaurant gift cards which have also been used by my two boys who have struggled to get back on their feet after the loss of their mother.
I loved my wife and miss her more than words can say. Your support has been tremendous and has been helping me overcome the grief and get me moving in the right direction again.
