Celebrate the Life of Nick…July 26, 1986 ~ February 8, 2004…We’d like to share with you and celebrate the wonderful life of Nick Rudolph. Nick fought cancer with all he had and grew to have an appreciation for each day he was given. Tragically Nick is no longer with us but continues to live on in spirit. This is a special tribute to celebrate Nick’s life, the lives he touched with his great sense of humor, quick wit and lessons learned along the way.

Thank you all very much for sharing your photo memories of Nick for this campaign. Our thoughts and prayers are never far from you guys and your family. I know that anyone who takes the time to see these photos and read about your son will be transformed by the love that leaps off the page. I know that we are better parents from your example and that we try to live each day without taking our children for granted. Thank you again for your generosity of spirit, your grace and the love you share with others. God Bless You and keep you near forever. Love, Lisa
As the parent of a recently diagnosed teenage boy with leukemia, I am, of course, deeply touched by the life of Nick. Our 18-year-old son battling leukemia is also named Nick. How closely your story matches ours....
Words can never describe the range and intensity of emotions felt when the horrible, out-of-nowhere diagnosis is made. And then, as we face the uphill battle together, when fear and worry mingle with exhaustion, a deep sense for the "old" life continually rears its dramatic head.
But alas, we remain hopeful. Not just for our own children, but for each and every child who is facing illness. Nick's story is one full of hope. My own son's story is one filled with hope.
In the end, hope and faith is what it's all about.
And then there's love.
Thank you for sharing your powerful testimony to a child you deeply loved. Faith, hope and love...these three. And the greatest of these is love.
I had the honor of getting to know Nick while he was at St. Jude. He was not only a patient to me, but also became a part of my life. I never imagined that a single person could touch my life as a nurse like Nick has. I am grateful that I got the opportunity to meet this amazing guy and his amazing parents. I will never forget how much this family has done for me.
