Meet Honored Child Nathan
Welcome back, Nathan, to another year of being an honored child! Nathan turned 10 in February, and this year was more cause to celebrate - it was his first birthday in several years without being on any medication.
Nathan lives with his mom and dad, two dogs (Max & Eva), and 2 cats (Sky Wing and Stella-Belle). His favorite book is actually a series - The Chronicles of Narnia, because “the good people win.” His hobbies are biking, strategizing and planning, swimming, fundraising for a good cause, traveling with his family, and learning mountain biking. He hopes to be a physician when he grows up. His favorite quote is his dad’s saying “You have to go through me first before you get to my loved ones.” He likes it because it speaks to protecting family and friends.
Nathan was diagnosed with T-Cell ALL, a type of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, when he was 5. His favorite Candlelighters memory is the biking with the cyclists in 2022 for the Ride Out and the Kickoff event on the river, where he made a new friend, former honored child Xavier.

The internet connections in some of the small towns we stayed in was not great so I am updating everyone now. 6 days of 70 or so miles wasn't easy on some days, for example 14% grade climbs on gravel. But for the most part myself and the rest of the Candlelighters cruised through it. I am proud of the riding accomplishment and the ability to help the kids ( Hi Nathan!). Again, thanks to all that donated to make it possible.
