Nicky received a bone marrow transplant in February of 1997 at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at the University of Washington in Seattle. His doctors suggested that if Nicky could survive for 100 days after the transplant, his chances of overcoming the disease would be strong. On day 96 after the transplant, doctors found that Nicky's leukemia had recurred. Nicky passed away at home a couple of weeks later. The second annual Nicky's Rainbow Run, a 10K and 3-mile run and walk, will be held on Sunday, March 14, at 8 a.m. in Berkeley's Golden Gate Fields.
Runners can sign up through the day of the run.
