Nick Colley’s Story

Nick is a friendly, energetic, athletic 11 year old boy, and when he was suddenly tired all the time and uninterested in all the things he loved to do, his parents started to worry. When he spiked a high fever and woke up with extreme leg pain unable to walk they knew it was time to take him to the ER. 8 hours later Nick was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on July 18, 2023, and he will undergo treatment for two and a half years to knock cancer out of the park. Nick has completed frontline treatment, and he began maintenance in June 2024. Most kids would move to monthly clinic visits during this phase. However, for Nick, because he is allergic to one of the main chemotherapies used in maintenance, he will continue weekly clinic visits until November 2025. This is why we Rally, to find better treatments with fewer long term side effects!

Nick is brave and strong, and we have faith in God that Nick will be healed! In the meantime, his parents have partnered with Rally foundation to create a research fund in Nick’s honor. Since it’s creation, his research fund has raised over $356,774 for childhood cancer research, and we’re just getting started! Please consider buying a t-shirt, gold laces or donating (many companies will even match!) so that one day no parent will ever have to hear “your child has cancer” again!

“Be strong and courageous, Do not be afraid or discouraged,
for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9
