August 22: Safeco Field Hosts Sturge-Weber Foundation Nine-Year-Old For First Pitch

Seattle Mariners-New York Yankees Invites Sturge-Weber Syndrome youngster to play ball.

Media Advisory

MT FREEDOM, N.J./EWORLDWIRE/Aug. 20, 2006 --- For any child, the thrill of throwing the first pitch at any game nationwide is unparalleled. For Seattle, Washington's Trevor Coffee, the August 22 honor will be especially meaningful - the nine-year old has been invited to throw out the first ball at Safeco Field for the Seattle Mariners-New York Yankees game. The event represents a milestone in Coffee's recuperation from brain surgery at Swedish Hospital's Pediatric Therapy.http://newsroom.eworldwire.com/newsroom_headers/2765_94963.jpg" align="right">

Trevor, who has Sturge-Weber Syndrome, had surgery in 2003 to alleviate intractable seizures and has worked with several therapists on the road to rehabilitation.

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare neurological disorder and is accompanied by several related conditions. The boy has a port wine stain (PWS) birthmark on the left side of his face and experienced seizures since infancy.

Trevor goes to Olympic View elementary school in Seattle.

The Sturge-Weber Foundation (SWF) of Mt. Freedom, N.J. is an international organization providing families of children like Trevor, and adults with SWS, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome and port wine stain conditions, with education, information, and friendly support. The SWF also funds research and provides education to medical institutions.
