BACKGROUND

The Miracle Match Foundation was established in January 1997 by tennis professional Bill Przybysz. In July 1995 Bill was diagnosed with (AML) Acute Monocytic Leukemia. After going through a series of treatments in Grand Rapids, he was sent to the University of Michigan Medical Hospital for a bone marrow transplant, knowing that he may never play tennis again. Not only is he on his way to a complete recovery, but as a result was able to play his “Miracle Match” in February 1999 against John McEnroe.The Foundation has since dedicated itself to helping others play in their Miracle Match. No matter whether it is bedside or courtside, Bill and the Foundation are helping make winners out of them all.
