Linda Bickel Grassi, raised in Wildwood Crest and a graduate of Wildwood High School, was a Glenwood Avenue Elementary School teacher in Wildwood for 20 years. When diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Linda had to travel to New York for treatment. Her close friends and co-workers came together to raise funds to help defray the costs of travel. Linda lost her battle with cancer in May of 1994 at the age of 46, but her close friends and co-workers decided that the love and concern for Linda should live on to help other cancer patients in Cape May County. To do this, they created the Love of Linda Cancer Fund, Inc. Love of Linda helps Cape May County cancer patients with ongoing treatment pay non-medical related expenses. Love of Linda is mostly supported by planned fundraising activities throughout the year.
