Congratulations to Erica Wiley – Andy’s February Fan of the Month. Erica was nominated by her Mom, Kim:

“I would like to nominate my daughter, Erica Wiley for Andy’s fan of the month. Erica is 18 and lives in West Plains, Missouri. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know. To say Erica is an Andy fan is an understatement.

“She has been an Andy fan for years and she lets everyone know it.

“Her bedroom walls are covered with his posters, her glass display case is full of signed tennis balls, programs, magazines, No Compromise bracelets, Andy ducks, bobbleheads, calendars etc…Pictures of her and Andy together fill picture frames, some with Andy’s autograph. Her notebooks, calculator and lockers are filled with Andy’s pictures. She has a box that is full of Andy clippings. She wears her Andy tee shirts with pride.

“Erica has been fortunate enough to meet Andy on several different occasions and to get autographs and pictures. On her 16th birthday we met Andy and he wished her a Happy Birthday and gave her a hug. It goes without saying that was her BEST present. On each occasion, Andy has taken time out of his busy schedule for a picture and autograph. As a mom, I can’t tell you how much that means to me.

“She spends countless hours on Andy Roddick.com, has her homepage set there, is a member of Club Roddick, and she has done research papers and art projects using Andy as her subject.

“She is on her high school tennis team and uses a Babolat racquet. She recently won the Hustle and Most Valuable Player awards. Her high school cafeteria had a huge Andy Roddick Got Milk ad on their wall—needless to say it now hangs in our garage.

“For years Erica has raised money for her favorite charity-St. Jude’s Children Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee and she has volunteered at our local hospital. She shares Andy’s desire to help kids in need and has looked up to Andy as a shining example of that.

“I feel Erica is deserving of this honor. This is why I am nominating Erica to be Andy’s Fan of the Month and because she would never nominate herself. She doesn’t know that I am nominating her. I hope she will log on to Andy’s website and be surprised to see herself as Fan of the Month.”

What a great fan! Thanks to Kim for taking the time to write in, and thanks to Erica for your magnificent support of Andy! Erica will receive a poster of her choice from the Proshop which will no doubt adorn her bedroom wall along with all her other Andy memorabilia.

If you’d like to feature on the andyroddick.com homepage as one of Andy’s best fans, or know someone else who deserves that honour, then get writing to [1] fanmonth@andyroddick.com. Don’t forget to send a photo!

Good Luck!
