Texas Hold Em Tournament in memory of Bradley R. Edmonds

The family and friends of Bradley R. Edmonds organized a Texas Hold 'Em Tournament in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania in his memory and donated all funds to the Susan Fazio Foundation. Brad, an avid poker player (won seats to play in the World Series of Poker), lost his battle against melanoma in January 2010. His father, Richard Edmonds, forwarded a letter to the Foundation: "I have been made aware through Brad's illness, there is not much hope when one is diagnosed with what I call the 'rattlesnake cancer." It is important to me and his family to continue a fight for positive treatments for melanoma cancer and that this donation can help in some small way."
