This race benefits the Nikolas Ritschel Foundation.
Nik’s Wish has delivered over 275 wishes in over 40 States and is supported 100% through volunteers, which allows the organization to help as many families as possible. The foundation was formed in honor of Nikolas Ritschel, Kelli’s son. Nik was diagnosed with cancer just before his 18th birthday and was granted a wish from Make-A-Wish Foundation. This wish meant the world to Nik. It gave him hope and happiness in a time of struggle and pain. When Nik discovered that kids over 17 do not qualify, he wanted to help. The night before cancer took his life in 2012, Nik asked his mother to help them have a wish, too. Nik's Wish carves out a joyful time to laugh, love and be together - and to forget about cancer for a while.
