Every day, 43 children are diagnosed with cancer. 12% of those children will not survive. Childhood cancer doesn’t discriminate.
On the morning of March 23rd, 2016 cancer struck 17-year old Nicholas Macias. But Nicholas’ fight didn’t end there. During his last months, the soccer star from Garland, Texas proved that courage outweighs cancer. Amidst his tumor rapidly growing, Nicholas’ concern remained on his family rather than his own bodily pain.
Nicholas’ story is one of strength that will inspire us all.
Nicholas’ story also reminds us why it’s our mission at Luke’s FastBreaks to provide these cancer fighters with a source of dignity during their fight. These families have enough to deal with emotionally and financially—the cost of a medical shirt shouldn’t be a part of their stress. The generosity of individual donors allowed Luke’s FastBreaks to provide Nicholas with a medical shirt free of charge.
Thank you, Rudy Macias and Sylvia Mendez, for your bravery in sharing Nicholas’ Story with the world.
