I received an email from Tracey Bailes (mother of Matthew Bailes, Turner), a portion of which I have copied below. Denise Hansen had served in the past as club director for the Turner Club, and I thought many of you might have known her but hadn't heard about her current health issues. Thanks to Tracey for letting us know about Denise.
Quote:
Denise is not doing well at all. I don't know if you know but she has liver cancer and she might not have long to be with us. And I know her husband has not been able to work. He is trying to take care of Denise. There has been an acct set up at Arvest in Denise's name at 151st & 69 Hwy to help with medical bills and other necessities. Is there anyway that you can post something on the kids wrestling and the other forums if you think it would help asking for donations to help them out. I feel so badly for them. I spent 2 hours with Denise last night and I don't know if you have been around her lately but she is the most kindest and heartfelt person that I know. And with the dedication that she has spent with the wrestling in Kansas I think that she deserves to have a little attention.

Denise is a great lady and has a great family. She has been instrumental in bringing a great affordable college wrestling camp to the area - put on by the Missouri Valley wrestling team. She has been a long time fixture in the Turner wrestling community. She loves this sport - the first time I met her was at the Johnson County Kids Classic, she didn't have anything else to do so she and her husband came out and ran a table for the day. For those that don't know her, her son is Paulie Hansen a great Kansas Wrestler from Turner and wrestles for MoValley.

Denise has given a great fight against this awful disease. Keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers and if you can donate please do so.

Olathe East Kids Wrestling Club.

My thoughts go to the family ... Denise was a great gal.


Are you making a POSITIVE difference in the life of kids?
