“If it wasn’t for the financial support we received from Redkite, I don’t think we would have survived.”

His father, Michael, remembers Nathan’s resolve to never give up on his dream even during the darkest hours of his cancer journey.
For Michael, financial stress was one of the biggest worries during Nathan’s cancer journey. Without financial support, he believes his family would not have survived.
