Dinner Benefit for Nigel Walker of Eatwell Farm | San Francisco | Feb 26 | $45

Description

Early this year one of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market’s founding farmers, Nigel Walker of Eatwell Farms was diagnosed with multiple myeloma-- a cancer of the plasma cells in one’s bone marrow. He went to see a doctor for severe back pain and learned he had a tumor on his spine that would paralyze him, let alone take his life, if left untreated. He was immediately brought to UCSF and spent 3 weeks undergoing the barrage of tests and treatments that follows such news. He is home now, resting before beginning chemotherapy.

Nigel has always been a farmer with great tenacity and spirit and even a diagnosis of cancer has not slowed him down. In a letter posted on the Eatwell website Nigel said, “I have everything to live for and quite frankly have only just got up to speed. I was asked by a doctor about my mental health, asking if my glass was half full or half empty. My reply was overflowing. I consider myself extremely lucky. I love what I do.” They are also offering fresh free food to others, whose family members have Eatwell CSAs, battling illnesses.

We love what Nigel does too, and we know that this is the time when we should come together and support him. Join us for this evening of delicious food, drink, camaraderie and community support. Get tickets here.

Can’t attend the dinner? Donate online in any amount and the funds will go directly to Nigel. CUESA will receive the funds via the online channel Crowdrise, and 100% goes to the Walker family.
