“We don’t want to remember him for his mental illness we want to remember him for how he was, just happy coaching swimming and seeing his friends so we want to celebrate that rather than celebrate the last two months of his life,” Louis Tudor’s daughter Hannah Tudor said.
The money raised will help get the non-profit up and running and also fund a scholarship in Tudor’s honor.
