Wrestlers' Rescue Benefit For "Dr. Death" Steve Williams

Posted: Jan 29th 2009 By: CMBurnham

Hello,

On February 1st 2009, Wrestlers Rescue will begin a campaign to raise approximately $20,000 for our mutual friend Steve Williams. Williams underwent throat cancer surgery in 2004, and was declared cancer-free in 2005. During the surgery to remove the cancer and to reconstruct his throat the doctors inserted a unit called a Stoma. This unit requires him to place his thumb over the hole in the stoma when he wishes to communicate.

As science has progressed, it now leaves Steve eligible to obtain a hands free device. As you can only imagine this would provide a more convenient and healthier way of life for him. What we are asking from you is help with this campaign. We are asking for a donation of memorabilia to be auctioned off to raise the monies needed for this procedure. His insurance only covers the doctor visits prior to the surgery and only the actual surgery. It does not cover the mechanism or the after care. All monies raised will be sent directly from our foundation to the doctor doing the procedure.

We would like to thank you in advance for your time and contributions. They are greatly appreciated. Your kindness will go a long way in helping Steve live a better quality of life.

Those who would like more information can contact Dawn Marie and Wrestlers Rescue, via snail mail at 1162 Saint Georges Avenue, Suite 313, Avenel, NJ 07001, by telephone at (732) 548-5875, by e-mail at WrestlersRescue@aol.com or online at WrestlersRescue.org.
