Heck of a ride, for Nicole
Nicole Bairos Heck
Nicole possessed a strength and attitude that truly inspired all that knew her. She courageously faced an aggressive form of triple negative breast cancer by fighting it with every possible tool offered by her medical team.
Nicole stayed focused on family throughout her ordeal, wanting to perform her roles as mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. She was wildly successful at it all!
We are riding and fundraising to:
Remember Nicole and honor her amazing spirit and the presence she had in our lives.
Commit to a cause that was tragically personal to her, and continues to impact her husband Kevin, and their wonderfully resilient daughters Alivia and Kylie.
Show Nicole's family and friends that Nicole remains in our hearts & thoughts.
Share this family's story so as to inspire action from everyone who hears it.
Contribute 100% of all donations to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in order to fund research in the hope that others may regain their health, and to keep families intact.
Please consider expressing your love and support by donating. Many companies have matching programs; your contribution could be easily doubled simply by asking your employer.

This will be a Heck of a ride for a Heck of a Cause!
