About the Author

Nick Nesvacil survived brain cancer and other major health challenges while in college to become a successful teacher and football coach at Preble High School in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Despite warnings that the chances of fathering any children were slim following his intense cancer treatments, Nick and his wife, Maureen, today are parents to four "little miracles." Nick's cancer journey convinced him of the value that emotional and material support is for patients and their families. He was inspired to create STINGCANCER, a rapidly expanding student-driven support group with chapters in dozens of schools.
