Third grader Nick Tasker was on his school's football team at practice, playing for his Arbutus Eagles, when a stomach ache he'd never experienced before sent him to the hospital.
This post was made on a crowdfunding site after doctors made their diagnosis.
"On Saturday Nicholas went to his football game as he always did except when he walked off the field he didn't feel the same as he did the day prior this time he walked off and was in pain! Nicks mom thought maybe it's just tired muscles but nicks behavior showed otherwise, so immediately she went to the doctors who in turn sent her straight to St Agnes emergency room. While his parents waited for the doctor to come back after a catscan they new something wasn't right when they asked to speak to them outside the room away from Nicks presence. The doctor told his parents every parents worst fears that they had found a 9 cm mass in his abdomen and needed transported straight to John Hopkins Children Hospital for further testing, sadly Nick didn't get to go home test confirmed not only did he have cancer but it was a Rare form and had spread to his lungs already. Nicks mom and dad are your average family they both work everyday but struggle like many of us do and live paycheck to paycheck and now due to Nick needing to stay in the hospital for surgerys, bone marrow testing, biopsies, chemotherapy and radiation they will have to miss multiple days of work. This page is solely to raise money to go straight to Nick and his family to help out financially in any and every way possible please stop and think what if this was your son or daughter would you want people to help? Any thing is appreciated and any amount WILL help..so please let's help nick #KICKASS Literally people in the blink of an eye she watched her son my nephew walk off the football field and into a hospital bed to fight his hardest fight ...the one for his life."
This past Tuesday June 20th, 2017 Nicholas ended his battle with cancer. Thanks to a couple of Country stars with huge hearts, family and friends have this happy memory to hold on to below. Chris Lucas and Preston Brust of LoCash remind me of what I love so much about working in this radio format. Country stars are NEVER to famous to care about others.
The sweetest moment hearing Chris from LoCash telling Nick that he wanted to hear him play the guitar they gave him when he is 16. Bet that guitar, one that the LoCash boys wrote a bunch of big hits on will be a cherished family heirloom for generations.
Rest in peace Nicholas.
