    About Nikolas Ritschel Foundation

    The Nikolas Ritschel Foundation builds hope for young adults between the ages of 18-24 fighting cancer nationwide by granting their wishes to live out their dreams. The organization was started by Nikolas Ritschel who was diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma just before his 18th birthday and was granted a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The night before cancer took his life in 2012, Nik wanted to help kids who did not qualify due to their age and the Nikolas Ritschel Foundation, also known as Nik’s Wish, was born.
