Our dear friend Aaron Herrera has a fight on his hands.
We are holding a tournament to raise funds for Aaron and would love for you to participate.
Background
In March 2016, Aaron was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer. He has a paraganglioma tumor in his neck, also known as a carotid body tumor, which is very rare tumor and not well understood by the medical community. They are rare tumors to begin with, and even more rare to be malignant (cancerous). Only about 3% of paragangliomas are malignant.
Treatment
At this time, Aaron’s team of doctors is planning to do surgery and radiation. We’re not sure about his chemo plan yet. Because Aaron’s cancer is so rare and his condition is very complex, it is going to be complicated to treat. There is a lot that is unknown and the plan will evolve throughout the process. The doctors’ approach is very methodical and careful.
Outlook
Aaron is prepared to fight. His doctors are devoted to his case. The journey will be difficult. However, we, as a family, have a strong support system, guardian angels, and the strongest love you’ve ever seen. Therefore, I believe Aaron will win this battle. This year and in the future can make it a reality. Your support and contributions will be greatly appreciated.
Tournament
The tournament flyer lists all of the low down, entry deadline is May 7th. We'll see you on the course.
