My Story

Nathaniel is our little superhero!! At just 4 years old, Nathaniel is facing a battle no child should ever have to fight. Nathaniel was just recently diagnosed with leukemia. His parents, Cristie and Zach, and their entire family have had their world turned upside down. Nathaniel regularly ran around outside everyday playing with his brother, climbing trees, and being just the happiest little 4 year old you ever met. He loves building with legos and being being creative. His days are now filled with doctor’s appointments, hospital stays, treatments, and countless unknowns. Through it all, Nathaniel has shown incredible courage, reminding us every day what a true superhero looks like. Nathaniel absolutely loves Spider-Man, and like his favorite superhero, he’s brave, strong, and full of heart. Thank you for supporting him and the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year. By sharing the gifts of your time, talent and money with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, you're supporting research to give all kids with cancer a better chance for a cure.
