Murray Comes To Aid Of Hutchins
Murray Comes To Aid Of Hutchins | 
When Britain s Ross Hutchins found out he had cancer last fall, he first told his brother and sister, but then he picked up the phone and called his close friend Andy Murray. The two have been buddies since they were young pros, and during the Queens tournament, Murray participated in a Rally Against Cancer to help raise money for his friend.
“ I called Andy first, spoke to him about it,’ Hutchins said in an Interview with CNN Open Court. Andy was saying, “you’re going to be better after this, you’re going to be stronger, you’re going to be a far tougher person and tennis player. Something like you are young to have this, but there is plenty of people who have had this and you’re going to come through stronger.”
Hutchins was hit hard by the disease early last fall, saying that he was only averaging two hours sleep for about a month and was so woozy that he would ended up sleeping on the floor because I thought it was the bed. I was falling asleep on a foam roller on tennis balls just to take the pain away from my back and give it to my leg somewhere. It was an issue I was talking to Andy about saying look I’m really struggling here.
After Murray won the Queen s title, he dedicated the trophy to Hutchins and then went right out and played the exhibition fundraiser.
Hutchins said it meant the world to him and Murray is hopeful that his friend can recover.
“He’s handled the whole situation incredibly well –he has a great family behind him as well, Murray said. “They’ve dealt with it so well too. They’ve been incredibly supportive, incredibly positive. Hopefully in a few weeks -when he gets the scans -everything will be clean. He’s past -well hopefully –one of the worst periods of his life -and will come out the other side -a lot stronger.”
