Hello all. The Eureka Wrestling Club will be hosting a benefit tournament on December 30th, 2018. All proceeds of this tournament will be going directly to the family. Please see excerpt below to understand Mason's story:

Mason Marshall is the two-year-old son of Zach and Chelsi Marshall of Eureka. Mason underwent Coronal Craniosynostosis surgery at two months old. Surgeons cut a 1 cm wide strip of bone out of his skull to create a gap to relieve pressure on his brain. He wore a helmet for 9 months with constant adjustments to properly shape his skull. Mason also has a dysmorphic great left toe and underwent a second surgery in November 2017 to remove an extra bone and straighten his toe. He also had a small hand surgery to correct the web space on his left hand between his thumb and finger at this time as well.

Mason has been diagnosed with Curry Jones Syndrome, a newly discovered diagnosis. Only 10 children are known to have this diagnosis. To check for missing glands, not uncommon among children with Curry Jones Syndrome, Mason had an MRI Monday, March 19, 2018. During this MRI, doctors found a medulloblastoma tumor at the base of Mason’s brain. He underwent surgery March 21 to remove the tumor. He began chemotherapy in April. He has successfully completed treatments. He has a partial hearing loss from the chemo and is awaiting glasses. Mason continues to see multiple doctors (endocrinologist, neurologist, orthopedic surgeon, eye specialist, oncologist, cardiologist, ENT, audiologist, and geneticist) to address chemotherapy side effects as well as issues related to Curry Jones Syndrome.

When will it be on Track?

Working on getting it on there soon. I will post on here when it's completed.

The tournament has been added to Track Wrestling. Event name: "Mason Marshall Benefit Tournament"

Registration is open! Please join us for a great day of wrestling while helping an awesome little boy and family!

Be sure to get your entries submitted for our tournament! This is a great cause and will be a great day of wrestling! There is no better way to send out 2018 than helping a great family through a sport we all truly enjoy! We will offer Madison bracketing and will make sure each wrestler has as many matches as we can possibly get for them! You will also have the convenience of home site weigh-ins. ALL proceeds from this tournament will go directly to the family (see previous posts for their story)! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Due to the holidays, I'm going to extend our deadline to the 26th. If you still need additional time, just let me know! Merry Christmas! ~Angie

We are still accepting entries for our tournament through today! This is a great cause and will get your wrestlers some mat time early in the season. We will use Madison bracketing and will bracket by ability as much as possible.

We will be opening Track Wrestling back up until tomorrow morning. We've got a pretty good mix of open/novice level wrestlers as of now, but wanted to allow a more time to get registered with the holiday season and things being a bit hectic. If you're looking for a entry level type of tournament, this would be a good start.
