Nicholas & Angel Kennedy (The Dream Team):2018 Nolan Smith's Teen Cancer America Hoop-A-Thon

I’m participating in Teen Cancer America’s 2nd Annual Hoop-A-Thon Challenge presented by Duke Director of Basketball Operations, Nolan Smith to support teens and young adults battling cancer. On August 26th, I will attempt to score as many baskets as possible during my 3-minute Hoop-A-Thon Challenge at Cameron Indoor Stadium, the home of the Duke Blue Devils in Durham. I’m inviting you to make a pledge per basket or make a one-time flat donation. Every pledge and donation will make a significant impact on the lives of teens and young adults fighting cancer!

Check out where I stand against other participants on the leaderboard.

Teen Cancer America’s work supports the coming together of physicians and allied healthcare professionals in both pediatric and adult oncology so that the teen and young adult cancer patient care becomes closer to where it needs to be. Age targeted care for this population is necessary for medical and appropriate psychosocial development of this unique age group. Research shows that some cancers that target this particular age group have not improved in over thirty years while improvements have been made in both pediatric and adult cancers alike. Teens and young adults with cancer are long overdue for an upgrade and Teen Cancer America can hopefully light the fire in America’s health systems.
