Hello. My name is Rick Achberger, husband of the late Cindy Achberger. I wanted to thank you for contributing to a very special cause. With your help, the Cindy Achberger Youth Baseball Association (CAYBA) will grow and benefit the youth throughout the area.

Cindy was born in Metairie, Louisiana and pursued a career in the radio industry. She later moved to Dallas, Texas to become one of the most successful radio promotion directors in the country. She helped build such stations as KEGL 97.1 FM and KYNG 105.3 FM. Both stations soared in the ratings with her help.

I met Cindy through a mutual friend of ours at a radio sponsored event. I soon realized that Cindy was a beautiful person inside and out. She was so caring and helpful in any given situation. She was loved and respected by her co workers and friends. She organized several charity events on behalf of her radio station throughout the years. She took care of business and even tackled a bigger task of taking care of me as well! We fell in love and were later married.

Cindy was diagnosed with a rare form of thyroid cancer called Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer. This disease is very aggressive and has a extremely low survival percentage. Cindy knew what she was up against. I was amazed by Cindy's strength and determination. She stayed positive through every treatment they gave her. She gained more and more strength from family,

friends, and God. We fought this disease for two years. She passed away on February 11, 2002.

The Cindy Achberger Youth Baseball Association was created by her brother George Turner to help the kids in the area as well as to keep her name alive. She would be so proud of her brother and the great cause her name is associated with.

Thanks again for your contribution.

Sincerely,

Rick Achberger
