Nikki's Mom and I, with a little "help" from "Build a Bear"! Read Nikki's story below!
After the remnants of Tropical storm Hannah, we all awoke to a truly beautiful sunny day!
Perfect day for the 6 annual "Nikki's run walk and roll" to support pediatric cancer, in Manchester.
I joined Miss Ct USA 2004,Shiela Waitr , Miss CT Earth, Tracy Harrison to help make this a truly memorable event.
Nikki Giampolo was a cross country runner at RHAM High School in Hebron, CT. In July of 2001, Nikki was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer that often affects young people.
Nikki's dream was to help other children with cancer by increasing awareness so that they would be diagnosed as early as possible. It was also her wish to give more children with cancer the hope of finding a cure by funding research programs. Nikki died just 6 months after her diagnosis, on New Year's Day 2002.
