Team IMPACT
Team IMPACT tackles the emotional trauma and social isolation experienced by children facing serious and chronic illnesses by matching them with a college athletic team. Through the two year therapeutic program that complements their medical treatments, children develop relationships and skills that help them complete the full circle of healing.
Nikolas Ritschel Foundation
Nik’s Wish: To bring JOY throughout the nation to young adults (ages 18-24), and their loved ones, fighting cancer. Nik found the “Wish Gap” for cancer warriors, ages 18-24, and we aim to fill it!
We have seen wishes to celebrate the end of treatment, wishes to encourage patients to keep fighting during treatment, and even last wishes to bring families together to create precious moments of joy. A Nik’s Wish carves out a joyful time to laugh, love and be together – And to forget about cancer for a while. In Memory of Nikolas Ritschel. #LOVEWONcancerzero
