Welcome to Nicki's Do It Yourself Fundraising Page
Among men, bladder cancer is the eighth most common cause of cancer death.
My father, Ed, was the strongest man I ever had the privilege of knowing, but bladder cancer quickly cut his life too short. Dad was diagnosed early in 2014 with Stage 4. He underwent radical cystectomy, and sought an oncologist for chemotherapy. As 2014 ended, Dad was feeling, moving, and acting like his normal self. Little did we know, that would be the last Christmas we would have with Dad. By March of 2015, Dad's health was very rapidly declining. He did his best to fight a tough battle, and remained a strong fighter until the end. On his final day on earth, he tried to talk to me and smile despite his obvious unbearable pain. Dad passed away on his birthday, April 9. I miss him terribly, every day. Dad is the reason I host events for the BCAN, and will continue to host events until I am no longer able.
I am raising funds for the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN) to fulfill its mission to advance research, provide information and support, and to raise awareness on bladder cancer.
DONATE NOW! In honor of all those affected by bladder cancer – please help us reach our goal. Any amount helps! Thank you!
