Hi everyone!

My name is Megan Nicotra, and I am the Varsity Girl’s Lacrosse Coach at McDonogh School in Owings Mills, MD. I am creating this GoFundMe page for my dear friend and Assistant Coach, Natalie Wills. I have known Natalie for over 20 years, and over the course of that time, I have always been in awe of Natalie’s vibrance, positivity, and joyful spirit! This past season, she joined our coaching staff and has shared those gifts with our team and the McDonogh community, all while bravely battling Metastatic Breast Cancer. It is easy to look at Natalie and forget the daily battle she is facing because she always leads with a smile.

It is my hope that we can use this fund to support Natalie’s battle, help fund medical expenses, self-care and bucket list experiences, and show her just one ounce of the support she has shown everyone in her life. Natalie’s strength and grace in the face of adversity have touched so many, and now it's our turn to give back. Every contribution, big or small, will make a difference in her journey. Thank you for your generosity, love, and support as we stand together to help Natalie.

Also, in true Natalie spirit - It is also Natalie's goal to not just fuel her own battle, but to make an impact on those treating, researching, and working towards a cure! A portion of all money raised will be donated to Johns Hopkins and their pursuit of finding a cure!
