Enriching the Lives of Young Cancer Patients Between 18-24 Years Old
Nik realized that many cancer patients in his age group were too old to take advantage of “kids” programs and yet too young to have their own resources.
He wished there was something to provide respite to this age group and give them the encouragement. We then founded the Nikolas Ritschel Foundation.
Nik's story identified a lapse in programs for cancer patients between the ages of 18-24. We aim to bridge this gap.
