Smile At Miracles - Sam

 This is Nicholas Brunelli's agent- Samuel a little boy at my church, is in the middle of a second attempt at a Bone Marrow Transplant. This little boy, is 4yrs old and been through more than possibly any of us would ever have to endure, he has had several struggles leading up to this point.  The Family's medical cost are going through the roof 3million+, and insurance is only covering about half. If anyone would be interested in donating anything to assist in this little boy's medical expenses, please contact smileatmiracles@yahoo.com ...

Thank you in advance for any consideration...

UPDATE:  It looks as though the Stem cell transplant was a success, and Samuel maybe well enough to attend Kindergarten next Fall. Praise God...

  Hi!

Just saw the entry about ASU Men's swimming being reinstated from funding out side the university. This is great news! I am curious, how long is it reinstated, just 2008-2009 season? And will the program face this issue each year?

EXPOSURE

Nicholas Brunelli receives allot of local, national, even international exposure depending upon which meets he can attend. 

 Here is just a sample of some of the websites, magazines newspapers Nicholas Brunelli has been involved with. Several International articles could not be read, or translated very well, so they were not included. Most of these websites share stories so Meet results, and stories are typically on all swimming websites, in addition to local news. Nick grew up in Mansfield, Mass, he still gets exposure there as well...
