Welcome to our fourth annual Team Nicole event! Over the past few years we’ve raised a total of $28,413 towards CF research and Nicole’s treatment plan. This year our goal is $10,000 towards CF research. Let us know if you’d like to jump on board for any part of the adventure.
Nicole was born with Cystic Fibrosis and was admitted to Sick Kids Hospital at birth, surviving life saving abdominal surgery. Daily treatments and monitoring, regular hospital visits and admissions for various complications, are a way of life for Nicole. In recent years, Nicole developed chronic pancreatitis; a complication related to Cystic Fibrosis, which causes severe daily pain, and greatly limits her quality of life. On a daily basis, Nicole takes 50 pills, completes therapy for her lungs and carefully manages the many parameters of her diet. She also has to carefully manage her energy and pain, to prevent setbacks and hospitalizations. In spite of all of these challenges, Nicole continues to enjoy time with her family, partner and friends. She enjoys time working with her Service Dog in Training, Lady Harper and she continues to complete her University courses online, completing one at a time, continuing singing lessons on weeks she is well enough to sing, creating art and in addition to this, Nicole also started an online shop selling crystals on Etsy. She is hopeful for her future and is excited about all the advances made with modulator therapies such as Trikafta in recent years. Nicole is grateful for all of the support she has received from Team Nicole over the years and is excited to be a part of the adventure again this year!
