Nolan Cooney

During my battle with testicular cancer I faced many tough challenges. I used the power of sport to fuel me to overcome them and put myself in the position to earn the opportunity I have in front of me. As I take a step toward my NFL dream, I’d like to use this opportunity to give back. I have committed my performance at the Syracuse Pro Day to support Uplifting Athletes and its mission to inspire the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport.

Uplifting Athletes was an important part of my college experience, and that is why I’ve chosen to launch my Reps for Rare Diseases campaign in support of the Rare Disease Community. I was honored to be part of our leadership team for the Syracuse Chapter, serving as the President during my college career. I will never forget the Lift For Life experience and how it brought together the Syracuse Community in support of this great cause.

Fans and supporters can pledge for each punt I hit with over 4 seconds of hang time (my goal is 10) at the Syracuse Pro Day on March 19.

Please join my team by making a pledge today!
