This was Marshall Artho’s sixth year to play in the tournament, but for him it was more than just a game.

“Just giving back makes you feel good, especially knowing someone who has been through it,” Artho said. “Maybe it’s playing golf but it’s all for a good cause.”

Artho took off work Monday and took part in Woody’s Golf Tournament to support his friend, John Hinkle, and a cause that means a lot to him.  “My wife had breast cancer for about eight years before she passed away,” Hinkle said. “She was 28 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and she passed away when she was 36.”

Hinkle’s wife, Donna, died in 2007.  The couple’s daughter Gabrielle was only one.

“We talk about her, and she sees pictures and videos and stuff like that,” Hinkle said, “and we try to keep her memory alive with her.”
