One Grandmother's Tennis Group Serves Up a Smash Against FSGS

(Pat Stewart, the grandmother of NephCure's Melanie Stewart, sent along a generous check from a recent event in Seabrook Island, SC, which the group described this way. We lobbed our thanks back pronto.)

A very enthusiastic group of women recently held a tennis tournament to raise money for NephCure. Melanie Stewart, whose grandparents live on the island, is a great favorite of many of the players. So well liked is she that the ladies wanted to do something that would benefit an organization so dear to Melanie's heart.

The women arrived proudly wearing their NephCure pins and proceeded to have a great time. It was an especially happy time for Melanie's grandmother (no, she didn't win), but she had the pleasure of receiving a generous check from the participants.

At the luncheon following the tournament Ethel Ashby distributed copies of articles taken from the NephCure website, and gave a short talk on the aims of NephCure.
