Chris Nalley is a loving father, husband, and friend, as well as an accomplished martial artist. He has always amazed those around him by dedicating so much time and energy to his family, friends, and martial arts—all while working 80-100 hours a week. Chris’s strength and resilience have inspired everyone who knows him.

Recently, Chris was diagnosed with lung cancer. One of the tumors compressed a cervical vertebrae, causing a painful fracture. Seeing someone as tough as Chris in pain is unimaginable for those who know him. Despite these challenges, his martial arts community and friends are rallying together to support him as he undergoes treatment at Emory.

We are raising money to help cover Chris’s medical expenses, the loss of wages during his treatment, and necessary modifications to his home for when he can finally come back. Any size donation will make a difference. It truly takes a village, and we want to bring as many thoughts, prayers, and resources as possible to support Chris, his wife Michelle, and their family. Thank you for your kindness and support.

Funds will be used to help the family with medical and travel expenses, home modifications while he undergoes treatments, and the loss of income for the family
