This strikes particularly close to me also. I suspect that there is a large demographic of Blitzers in this age group and it really is a shock to contemplate. All the best nickyd, although mostly lurking, I am a long time Blitzer and have enjoyed your passion and enthusiasm over the years. Hope my contribution helps in some small way.
I canāt give much at the moment but every little bit helpsā¦
Go NickyD.
Done, all the best mate
Just made my contribution. Nickās story really touched home given we have 2 kids under the age of 4. All the very best mate, keep fighting and I look forward to celebrating our next flag together.
Well said Redbull.
Chokes you up inside when you look at that picture of him with his beautiful little daughter, and Iāve never met the guy.
Letās just hope the treatment is a success, and heās contributing in the Trade forums later in the year.
Donated, and shared on facebookā¦and I never share anything on facebook. Good luck Nick, want to see you celebrate the Bombers next flagā¦whenever that may be.
Donated. Blitz can be a frustrating read at times but this is an amazing thread. Couple of days ago, ānickydā to me was just a username amongst many. Now, heās forefront of mind.
All the very best mate.
Done. Like so many others I am now emotionally invested in your journey Nickyd. Your fight is our fight. All the best to you and yours.
Donated.
Keep fighting nick.
Iāme in, keep up the fight Nick.

I love nickyd like we all do but how do you expect his treatment to allow either of you to live until 150?

Well IT, Fairybread and I went up to see him this morning for his birthday. As you can imagine heās not in the best place physically, but mentally heās still Nick. We didnāt stay too long as he finds it quite difficult to sit up for any length of time, and tends to tire and cramp very easily. But we had a good time, talking football, talking Melbourne and Peter Mac, talking Van Diemen Dons, and just generally talking ā ā ā ā (as we usually do). Heās amazed at the generosity of Blitz, absolutely stoked that Katie is willing to take him and his family into the rooms if he can make it to a game, and generally just looking forward to the next step, and whatever that may bring. Heās a strong and resilient, although realistic, man, and is just gritting his teeth and getting on with it as best he can.
When will he be able to go to Peter Mac?
When will he be able to go to Peter Mac?
Heās not sure yet. Find out more early next week.
And he greatly appreciates the help he has received on that issue as well.
I know he will have to get a referral but the sooner he goes, the better chance he has.

He has a referral that apparently went in on Thursday from what I understand.
Those of us who want to, if we can all hold an image of Nick and his family in our thoughts and in our own way, send loving kindness and healing his way.
I know this works because lots of people did it for me.
