As one might imagine, Cindy Frey has her good days and bad days.

Frey tries to stay busy to help cope with her grief. Yet, Frey will also smile and laugh because, deep down in her heart, she knows her son. Cancer may have taken Adam Frey in December, one day after Christmas, but Adam Frey, a decorated collegiate wrestler, remained feisty and fearless.

Adam Frey, not one to hear excuses, was also determined to help others with cancer. While millions of welcomed dollars are allocated to research, Frey discovered that funds are needed to help provide daily necessities for many patients. A meal. A tank of gas. A holiday gift. Something that can put smiles on their faces.

That’s why Frey started a foundation that bears his name while he underwent cancer treatments at the Hillman Treatment Center in Pittsburgh and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. And his vision has provided inspiration for Cindy Frey — and others — as she deals with her own emotions and healing process.

“After Adam’s death, his [vision] gave me a purpose,” Cindy Frey said.

“Adam touched so many lives, and this [foundation] is something that he wanted to do. He could tear you apart on the (wrestling mat), talk you under the table intellectually. He did not have much patience if you were healthy and felt sorry for yourself, but he could be the most patient person in the world when somebody needed his patience.

Takedowns and Falls is a documentary film that tells the story of a group of Pennsylvania teens and their relationships within a high school wrestling team on a journey to attain a state championship. It chronicles a season of the Central Dauphin Rams in Harrisburg, PA and highlights the sacrifice of its athletes, the commitment of their families and the dedication of its coaches. Inspired by their love of the sport and their coaches, this group of teens grows up before our eyes, in an attempt to over achieve and do the impossible. Takedowns and Falls explores themes of humility, family, friendship and teamwork via individual and team efforts to win a state title. The film transcends the sport and becomes a story about people over coming odds, and will appeal to a wide audience. Takedowns and Falls is Spellbound meets Friday Night Lights for high school wrestling, taking place in the U.S. Mecca for the sport.

In 2009, a bald, thin, but jovial Adam Frey was so fired up while coaching, he had to be told this was a benefit wrestling match – for his benefit.

Just over a year later, time has passed, and sadly, so did Adam. But his memory, the foundation that bears his name, and the event he helped found, remains.

Rider University in Lawrenceville, N.J. will again host the Adam Frey Classic, but the 2010 edition, the second annual, will be without its signature name. The wrestling community lost Frey on December 26 after a well-documented bout with germ cell testicular cancer.

Frey’s fight reached many around the nation and the world. Now, Frey’s impact will forever be present through the Adam Frey Foundation and the upcoming Adam Frey Classic.

The 2010 Adam Frey Classic is an exhibition match between just about anyone who has ever run into Frey. There are Blair Academy ties, New Jersey ties, Cornell ties, Pennsylvania ties … and pretty much everywhere in between.

This year’s Classic will be bittersweet as we will morn the passing of Adam as well as celebrate his life. This event is the brainchild of Josh Liebman and Adam, and is intended to celebrate the bond of friendship that the wrestling community has for each other and bring attention to the struggles of cancer patients and their families.

Our goal is to make everyone aware that there is more to fighting cancer than research alone. I have great enthusiasm for this years event and that we will achieve our goals of helping those affected by cancer and honoring the spirit of a champion and a humanitarian.
