Why: This tournament will benefit the family of Mark and Christel Shetler.
Mark has been suffering from tonsil cancer for more than a year. He was recently taken to St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, OK, where he has undergone several treatments. When he first arrived at the hospital, the doctors didn’t expect him to live more than a week. Several weeks later, while still not well enough to leave, he is getting stronger every day.
Mark is the father of nine children, four of whom are still underage and living at home, one of those four being a Down syndrome child. Due to his illness, he has been unable to provide for his family. Without health insurance, the funds raised will help pay for their rising medical needs.
