Eric Hess
Eric Hess is an All American Wrestling champion who has had Hodgkin's lymphoma. He is a graduate of Benton High School in Pennsylvania and is a son of Shane and Suzanne Hess.[1] He won 1-0 against Dirk Cowburn, and competed against Kurtis Julson before being diagnosed with cancer in 2010.[2] The doctors diagnosed him with it when he arrived to Geisinger Medical Center and discovered a tumor after he felt the chest pain. He currently holds two PIAA titles.[3] He was successfully treated, and in 2011 he enrolled at Lehigh University and returned to competition, but suspended his competitive career indefinitely in December 2012 owing to continuing health issues.[2][4]
