ABOUT NICK: Nicholas Sawyer Serum is a brave 6- year old. He was born on October 10, 1996. His parents are Michael and Laura Serum of Olathe, KS. He has a sister Ali, who is 10 years old and a 5th grader at Sunnyside Elementary where Nick is in kindergarten. He was diagnosed with Pre-B Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in January 2000. He had a relapse of the Central Nervous System in June 2001. His parents say he is " a normal six-year old that loves to play with friends, ride his bike, watch videos and explore. He enjoys playing Pokemon cards and has quite a collection. Nick has one dog, a Sheltie named Zak, whom he adores. He loves hitting golf balls, playing baseball and shooting baskets. Nick was enrolled at Prince of Peace Early Education Center at the time of diagnosis. He is a real fighter, never gets down, and is an outgoing happy child. He is truly a special person with a determination to conquer this disease and live!"
