Last year, Benny Bautista finished his junior season with a 5th place finish in a tough Northeast Regional. This year, he was hoping to be in the fight for NCAA DIII qualification, to be one of the final 21 wrestlers by seasons end to make it to the national tournament in his weight class. Instead, Bautista is faced with a challenger that none of us, especially those so young should ever have to face. Bautista has recently been diagnosed with brain cancer, and awaits surgery soon.
This is a very trying time for the Bautista family. In their efforts to overcome and beat this horrid disease, they need support from the wrestling community. Thoughts, prayers, letters of support and if at all possible donations, as the fight is never cheap.
If you are able, I ask that you help donate to the Bautista family.
Fundraiser for Janette Bautista by Renee Pontelandolfo : Support Benny's Fight Against Brain Cancer - is the link for his gofundme.
