OUR PROMISE TO NICHOLAS FOUNDATION
Mission Statement
On Sunday March 9, 2014 the McKelvie CAT Team of Bedford NH will be hosting a Zumbathon Fundraiser. This year Our Promise To Nicholas Foundation (OPTN) was chosen as the benefit. OPTN is in honor of Nicholas Dainiak who is currently in 5th grade at McKelvie Intermediate School. He was diagnosed 5 years ago with a brutal and currently terminal disease known as Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, or Batten disease. Nicholas turns 11 years old in May and like many of this disease’s young victims, his future relies on finding a cure. All proceeds will go directly to the Our Promise to Nicholas Foundation to fund medical research for a cure.
