Nearly 200 people picked up their paddles for the Move4Heather Pickleball Tournament at the Veterans School last weekend, raising $20,000 for brain cancer research.
The tournament was organized by Marblehead Pickleball and Friends of Marblehead Basketball. The money raised will go to the Heather Walker Glioblastoma Fund. Walker died from the disease in April 2023, after raising approximately $700,000 for research through the Move4Heather fund. Her family and friends are continuing the fundraising and awareness campaign.

“Heather’s strength, determination and motivation to do something to research for a cure (and start Move4Heather) while undergoing treatment inspired us to help meet her goal of raising $1 million for Move4Heather,” said Lauren Andriano with Friends of Marblehead Basketball.
