| "I'm really excited that I'm almost done with my 100 miles." - Nick Curley |
Nick Curley, a Glenview Stars hockey player, has been skating laps, backwards and forwards, the entire summer and fall at ice rinks around the Chicagoland area in his goal to raise money for the Danny Did Foundation. The "100 Miles for Danny" campaign is raising money to help fight Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).
Although Nick and Danny Stanton never met, their fathers were friends and Nick was impacted by Danny's death through his own parents, Laura and Brian. He saw how deeply saddened they were after finding out of the passing of their friend's son, and having a cousin who also is affected by epilepsy, he wondered whether something could happen to her. Since the cause really hit close to home, Nick wanted do something big to help raise awareness for SUDEP. What better way for him to assist in a great cause while doing his "favorite thing to do" - hockey.
Having skated 90 miles throughout the last few months, Nick became even closer to his goal of 100. He skated three miles prior to the Steel game, one mile during the first intermission, and one mile post-game with the players of the Chicago Steel. Nick is definitely a little boy who has been inspired to enjoy life and all of the ups and downs that come with it.
