OUR MISSION
The K2TENS program takes pride in being the best that it can be. On or off the court, it is our goal to display character and integrity by demonstrating respect and courtesy toward others and displaying discipline by doing the “right” things and taking pride in ourselves. We are knowledgeable and educated to know such things as tardiness, fighting, using profanity, cheating, being disrespectful and throwing rackets are not in our GAME. Our GAME is DISCIPLINE, HARD WORK AND TEAMWORK!!!
What's Happening?
PADDLES UP FOR KYLE!!!!
Just wanted to say "thank you" to all of you who have decided to do this fundraiser for me. I'm sorry to tell you folks so late but I felt now is the right timing for all of you to know. I have been battling lung cancer for 4 years now and things have gotten worse. I’ve done all types of chemo and other immunotherapy and nothing has worked. My lung cancer is terminal and I don’t how much time I have left in my life. This is why I haven’t been around at the tennis courts. I was trying to take care of my health. Going to chemo, doctors, surgeries, being in the hospital for days and weeks, etc. It has been very painful and stressful on my body and I wanted to let all of you know my doctor is trying her best to fight this cancer. This is why now is the time to let all of you know about my health situation. So thank you for all for your support!
AMAZING AND UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!
Update as of 12/8
Thank you everyone for a wonderful birthday and my two fundraiser events. We had over 250 people for our Pickleball Fundraiser and over 150 people for our tennis and birthday celebration. I wanted to say thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart for raising so much money for me and my animals. These two fundraisers shows me how much love and support you all have given me to stand up and fight this cancer! Thank you for all the power of prayers you folks have prayed for me in the last month. One month ago, I really thought my life was done with all the pain and being on oxygen 24/7 and now it's a miracle, I'm off of oxygen and being able to walk around.
​
I am grateful for all my friends and family who have helped me through these difficult times. I am thankful for my team who have worked so hard with these two events. I am not married and have no kids. I don't have anyone to watch me 24/7 BUT I HAVE TWO AWESOME BROTHERS AND LOTS OF GOOD FRIENDS THAT HAVE HELPED ME THROUGH THIS PROCESS. Oh and yes I have my animals that gives me unconditional love! lol
​
Thank you to my team who played a important role in raising all this money!!!!
