ork as a graphic designer and free-lance artist – a field he was passionate about. Dr. Mehta, at the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center, was his primary physician for his radiation and chemotherapy treatments. We had always hoped that a new and more effective treatment would become available to extend his life. Progress was made, but not fast enough. While Dr. Mehta’s clinical trials made it possible for Eric to survive almost 5 years, Eric died in October 1996 at the age of 28. Our friends suggested that we do something special that would help continue the medical advancements and at the same time keep Eric’s memory alive. This is how Golf Fore Wolfe & A Cure (GFW) began. We have devoted the past eight years to raising money so brain tumor patients will have a better chance to extend their life. Eric received his treatment at the UW Comprehensive Cancer Center and therefore we have designated this great clinical and research facility as the recipient of our efforts.
