The Eric Esterle Foundation
About Eric
visitors who care
| Eric is a bright and kind kid with an astonishingly positive attitude. He was captain of his high school hockey team, continues to be an avid motorcycle enthusiast and is full of life. He is currently attending college. On the outside Eric looks like a typical healthy college kid. However, when he was 17 years old and a senior at Jacobs High School in Algonquin, IL he was diagnosed with an extremely rare cancer called Malignant Psammomatous Melonotic Schwannoma. This is a cancer of the nerve sheath. Little is known about this particular cancer and there is no set course of treatment. Consequently, Eric's family has already made several trips to the Mayo Clinic as well as a trip to Texas in an attempt to ascertain Eric's prognosis and to develop treatment options. Eric has already undergone two separate surgeries and is currently in remission but is still fighting this disease. Eric continues to fight this cancer with great courage and unbelievable strength. With an optimistic attitude and an illustrious personality, Eric feels he can overcome these enormous obstacles. |
The Mission The mission of the Eric Esterle Foundation is to help enrich the life of a child who is courageously facing a life threatening illness. To effectively assist his family with medical expenses as they seek to find a treatment for Eric's cancer. Friends and family established this foundation in November 2006 to support, strengthen and encourage Eric. A fund has been established at National City, 791 S. Randall Rd. Algonquin, IL 60102 Attn: Brian S. Willig Any questions regarding the Foundation should be directed to Sandy Wolf at (815) 356-9325 or Kathy Tomasino at (847) 458-9720. |
