The Huck Cancer Ultimate Frisbee Tournament was borne out of our community’s love for our friend, Eric Arons. Eric is in the early stages of treatment for a Grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme tumor. He was diagnosed in July of 2009 and it was, of course, shocking to all of us. How can a 40 year old man who bikes regularly, plays ultimate frisbee weekly – if not more – and has a full social and work life get cancer? And the only indications leading up to his diagnosis were memory loss and anxiety? Unbelievable. As word got out about Eric’s diagnosis, offers of help came pouring in; he received home cooked meals, brownies, hugs, even offers to go to radiation with him. When still others approached Eric about doing something “formal” in his honor, he unselfishly (and very characteristically) turned the spotlight away from him, and asked if it would be possible to set up some kind of fundraising event that would involve something fun. These simple ideas evolved rapidly into the tournament we present to you today.
