In May of 2003, eleven-month old Isabella de Bethencourt succumbed to cancer at Children's Hospital in Boston after living most of her short life there. In appreciation of the selfless, Herculean efforts that the hospital staff made to save her life, Isabella's parents, Heather and Michael, created an event to raise money for pediatric cancer research to help other children like Isabella.
Since Michael de Bethencourt is a well-known police trainer, a pistol match seemed like a natural way to combine some fun with fundraising for a worthy cause.
