June 2025 Update: Nash’s journey took a turn when he discovered what his surgery would entail and what this meant for his future in sports … Nash found out that his best chance of survival and his only chance at returning to some level of impact sports would be to lose a portion of his leg. This, of course, requires a prosthetic. Nash, at 13 years old, was told he wouldn’t return to hockey, soccer, and baseball with his buddies, instead he would have to look at sports a little differently and work very hard to get back to what he loves. This extensive surgery (rotationplasty) required a transfer to SickKids in Toronto, Ontario where his Mom and Dad have been with him every step of the way… his rehabilitation will also occur in Toronto as this is his best chance at a speedy recovery. Nash is ready to take on this challenge and has been a champ every step of the way! Keep cheering him on because he’s inspiring all of us and making us very proud!! Once again, cancer may have started this fight, but Nash is sure to finish it.
Chris and Amy were faced with the unimaginable a couple weeks ago when they found out their pride and joy, Nash, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his right knee. While they wait for details on staging and a more concrete plan, they are undoubtably faced with a long road ahead where Nash will require chemotherapy and surgery. This news has caused Chris and Amy to hit pause on any work-related commitment to be there for Nash every step of this journey. Anything that we can provide to compensate for lost earnings will help Chris, Amy, and Nash as they navigate the unthinkable.
Cancer may have started this fight, but Nash is sure to finish it.
