Hello,
Welcome to the Nic's Team web page. this site is dedicated to highlighting our fight against Cystic Fibrosis, a deadly genetic disease that has no cure. We are raising awareness of the disease and gathering sponsors for our Great Strides walk team. Every year our family raises money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (cff.org) to help them support research into new treatments and ultimately a cure. Research equals life.
Nicholas is my 15 year old son. He sometimes likes to spell it "Nick". When Nic was 2-days old he had major surgery to fix a problem in his intestines. It was a miracle of modern medical science that he survived. Since he was a little baby we have supported the CFF and their annual Great Strides walk-a-thon campaign. It is a yearly event usually attended by families and friends of people with CF. We always have a lot of fun. Our local walk is held at Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia.
Our family can attest to the progress that comes from targeted research into fighting this disease. Several of the medications that Nic has taken were direct results of the CFF's support for those promising drugs while they were being developed. It is important to do everything we can to help fund research not just for Nic but also for the thousands of other CF patients out there. The CFF certainly lives up to its motto: adding tomorrows everyday
Hopefully this blog is gonna be a collaborative effort between me and Nic. We are both going to write posts here so be prepared for that. Nic is just like any other 15-year-old in every way. It's just that while dealing with being a teenager, he also has to deal with a serious disease everyday of his life. He does a pretty good job of coping with it all most of the time. He generally does pretty well in school and even volunteers for the YMCA Leader's Club. As Dad, i spend a lot of time making sure Nic takes his meds. I also take a lot of pictures and will be posting some of them here.
Please consider sponsoring Nic's Team this year. I will be posting more info on that very soon. Come back here again to see how we are doing. Any comments are welcome.
THANKS,
Nic's Dad
