Niko was a huge Minnesota Vikings fan. You may have noticed the Viking blanket on his hospital bed. Niko had the opportunity to attend a Viking's game in person this past January. The Vikings beat Green Bay that day 16-3. Sadly, a few months later Niko lost his battle with cancer.
Here is Niko in his Boy Scout uniform, prior to earning his Eagle Scout award and before treatments took his hair. On his sash he has 35 merit badges. Only 21 are required for Eagle. He was such an over achiever!
I just raised $100 to fight kids' cancer and achieved DEFENDER LEVEL in the challenge! Thank you so much for your support.
