Kelli Ritschel Boehle will talk about her son Nick who passed away from Synovial Sarcoma in 2012, and the Foundation that she started to grant wishes to the 18-24 age group of cancer patients in similar fashion to the Make A Wish Foundtaion.

Kelli Ritschel Boehle's son Nick passed away from Synovial Sarcoma in March of 2012. During his cancer battle which lasted for 3 1/2 years, Nick was undergoing a clinical trial at the National Institute of Health when he met a young man named Nate. Nick was just young enough after he was diagnosed to be able to take advantage of the Make A Wish Foundation who granted he and his family a trip to Hawaii but Nate was too old to be given a similar opportunity. On today's podcast, Kelli will talk about  how upset Nick was about Nate and asked his mother if she could help him in any way. .After Nick passed away, not only did Kelli help Nate, but she is now helping many other cancer patients who range in age from 18-24 by starting the Nickolas Ritschel Foundation which grants wishes to this age group, in similar fashion to what the Make A Wish Foundation has been doing for many many years.
