Barbara’s story
In 1996, Barbara Croker (Lyons) was diagnosed with this dreadful disease and has undergone 39 major surgeries in the last 16 years. After a recent increase in the diagnosis of Dercum’s Disease, there may be light at the end of the tunnel for Barbara and other Dercum’s Disease patients. We have found hope in researcher Dr. Karen Herbst of San Diego, CA. She has begun to research the causes and possible cure for Dercum’s Disease. All proceeds from the tournament will be donated to Dr. Herbst who is focusing on finding the gene or genes that contribute to the development of Dercum's disease.
