Ponder This

Before I explain the tournament, I will explain the reason for the event. My father, Stan Ponder Sr., was diagnosed with myelofibrosis and myelodysplasia in July of this year. These are rare forms of leukemia that attack the blood cells and make it difficult for new cells to be made. Stan’s only option to fight this disorder was to undergo a bone marrow transplant, which was successfully conducted last Tuesday. However, Stan still faces an uphill battle to fight off the many complications that can come with a bone marrow transplant. As you may imagine, procedures such as this, as well as the numerous hospital visits, blood transfusions and other spendings, cost a pretty penny. This tournament is to help pay these expensive hospital bills that are accruing every day. To learn more about his disease and his progress, feel free to visit his GoFundMe page .
