Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Tournament, held July 9, gathered together at a La Cañada Flintridge home last weekend for a barbecue and to celebrate another successful event to raise funds for cancer research.<br /><br />“We are so lucky to have a wonderful committee to run this event,” said Anita Torres, Andrew’s mother. “Len and I are so grateful to have such wonderful friends and Andrew was blessed to have such loyal and loving classmates.”<br /><br />Andrew Torres was only 23 years old when he passed away in 2004 from a rare form of liver cancer. He graduated from Flintridge Prep in 1998 and was a graduate of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. At his request, Andrew’s family and friends began to plan fundraising efforts to help fight this disease and for three years have worked tirelessly to raise awareness and funds.<br /><br />To date, nearly $200,000 has been raised and presented to Huntington Medical Research Institutes, known for their ground-breaking work in the field of cancer research. advertisement<br /> <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.lacanadaonline.com/articles/2007/08/30/society/lso-torres830.txt">La Cañada Valley Sun: La Cañada Flintridge, California</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">The Fourth Annual Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Classic will be held on June 23, 2008.

Andrew Torres Honored<br /><br /> <br />Dr. William Corey, left, moderator of a Liver Symposium held by Huntington Medical Research Institutes, stands with La Cañadans Anita and Leonard Torres, parents of 2nd Lt. Andrew Torres who was honored that day, and Dr. Myron Tong, director of the HMRI Liver Center. Sixty physicians attended the event. <br /> <br />Sixty physicians gathered at the Huntington Medical Research Institutes (HMRI) recently for an update on liver diseases, including liver cancer and its rising incidence rates and to hear distinguished guest speaker Dr. Willis Maddrey, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he also serves as vice president for clinical affairs, discuss the growing problem of Hepatitis C and liver cancer. Maddrey expressed optimism about research underway on new technology to evaluate liver fibrosis without liver biopsy, explaining that fibrosis, or scarring, usually precedes cancer and is a critical observation for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.<br /><br />Honored during the symposium was the late 2nd Lieutenant Andrew Torres (USMC), son of Leonard Torres and Anita Brenner of La Cañada, who passed away in 2004 of liver cancer at age 23. HMRI has been the recipient of funds raised by the Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Tournament over the past two years. Dr. William Corey, director of clinical research at the HMRI Liver Center, was the symposium moderator.<br /><br />HMRI Executive Director Dr. Bill Opel said, "With the increasing incidence of liver cancer and the improving ways of treating people early, HMRI research is focused on developing new ways of detecting the cancer early."<br /><br />Hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the third leading cause of cancer deaths. Over 500,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. Its incidence has nearly tripled in the United States since 1980 and is increasing in all ethnic groups, including white, Hispanic, black and Asian.<br /><br />Dr. Myron Tong, director of the HMRI Liver Center, who was one of many investigators who came to realize that the association of Hepatitis B and C is a risk factor for hepatocelluar cancer, provided an update on treatment of Hepatitis B at the symposium.<br /><br />Dr. Tong also discussed effective new treatments for liver cancer.<br /><br />When caught early, small tumors can be destroyed with injections or with radio energy delivered through slender probes. Some patients can also be treated effectively with liver transplants.<br /><br />"The liver center has been in Pasadena for about 30 years and has always been led by Dr Myron Tong who is both nationally and internationally known as a for his involvement in studies, particularly with hepatitis B and C," said Dr. Corey. "He has continued to be interested in the treatment and has ongoing drug trials."<br /><br />Dr. Edward Mena, whose medical practice and research are based at the HMRI Liver Center on South Fair Oaks in Pasadena, discussed the growing problem of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease at the symposium.<br /><br />"Dr. Mena's focus on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is very compelling, because obesity can cause serious liver damage and even cancer in susceptible people," Opel explained.<br /><br />Of the symposium, Dr. Corey said, "I thought it went beautifully."<div class="blogger-post-footer">The Fourth Annual Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Classic will be held on June 23, 2008.

There were numerous instances of people meeting Andrew and never knowing he had cancer because he constantly kept an upbeat attitude. He was always smiling from ear to ear and acting like nothing was wrong even as the cancer spread. Never once did he complain about his medication, his change in lifestyle or the pain he felt throughout his body. <br /> <br />In honor of Andrew, we are organizing the Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Tournament being held on April 18 at the La Ca�ada Country Club. The day will celebrate the life of Andrew as well as raise needed funds for cancer research. All proceeds will support a new research project to find markers for liver cancer at the Molecular Neurology Laboratory of Huntington Medical Research Institutes in Pasadena. <br /> <br />Please come out for a round of golf (don't worry if you aren't good. Word has it that Andrew wasn't either), join us for dinner and the silent auction, purchase a tee sign or volunteer. We hope to see you and fellow classmates there. <br /> <br />Thank you in advance for your support and generosity. And thank you to the Valley Sun for sponsoring this event. <br /> <br />Noelle Ito, Geoff Chandler, Matt Lindler, Chris Mang, Whitney Railsback and Rishi Sahgal "<div class="blogger-post-footer">The Fourth Annual Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Classic will be held on June 23, 2008.

Now his classmates, all young adults in their early 20's, have asked their parents, relatives and employers to support the first annual 2nd Lt. Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Classic, to be held on April 18th at the La Canada Flintridge Country Club. <br /> <br /> <br />The committee got a boost last week from Liz Rusnak, who saw a poster for the event in at a dry cleaners in La Canada. Rusnak contacted the committee and offered to provide a hole-in-one prize vehicle, the new high performance sedan, Chrysler’s "car of the year" – the elegant Chrysler 300C. To complete this unique program, Rusnak Chrysler Jeep Dodge will bring the 300C and other Chrysler models to the tournament, for golfers and guests to examine. Chrysler will make a cash donation for every test drive of the vehicle. <br /> <br /> <br />Committee members personally met with Liz Rusnak to thank her. "Ms. Rusnak is impressive as a business woman, but she also is a mom so she knows how we feel about this event" said Anita Torres. <br /> <br /> <br />Flintridge Prep classmates who are organizers of the event were grateful for Rusnak’s contribution. Matt Linder, an engineer, has a special interest in automotive design. "It’s very nice of Rusnak and Chrysler to support us." said Linder. "Andrew wanted us to support cancer research and he would have liked driving the 300C" said Noelle Ito. <br /> <br /> <br />Andrew Torres grew up in La Canada Flintridge, California. He became interested in military service because his father served as a Marine officer with Force Recon in Vietnam. During his cancer treatment, he was stationed at the Naval Academy. "Lt. Torres was an inspiration to all those who came in contact with him," said Major Greg Boll, USMC, United States Naval Academy. "He loved being a Lieutenant in the Marine Corps and although only commissioned for two years, he had an extraordinary impact on the personnel he was stationed with. His loss will be felt by all those here at the Naval Academy." <br /> <br /> <br />The Torres Golf Classic will be held at the La Cañada Country Club. Tickets for individual golfers will cost $225.00, which includes lunch and dinner. A limited number of dinner-only tickets will be available for $60.00. There will be a silent auction. The proceeds from the golf classic will go to an ongoing cancer research project at Huntington Medical Research Institutes in Pasadena, California.
