Friends of Jaclyn Foundation and The Georgia Tech Tennis team

I wanted to share with you some of the wonderful foundations that have helped us out.  One is the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation.  They place children that have been diagnosed with a brain tumor, with a college or high school sports team.  The child and the team become friends, and are able to show each other support.  Nolan has gone to games and cheered the team on and the team has come to the hospital and cheered him up.  The bond is Amazing! Nolan's team is the Georgia Tech Tennis team. WOW!  Friends of Jaclyn couldn't have picked a better team!! Nolan loves the guys and the guys love Nolan.  He's always begging for the next opportunity to see them.  Also if you are wearing a Georgia Tech t-shirt be prepared for Nolan to bug you about how wonderful his team is :)  He is a BIG Georgia Tech fan!

He  was at camp this summer and was approached by a UGA football player and was asked if he liked the bulldogs.  Nolan's reply was, "NO way!, I like the yellow jackets!"  He's hilarious!

Here's his first team photo.  I still remember this day so well.  Nolan was watching them practice from the stands when Magin approached him.  Magin and Nolan started tossing the tennis ball back and forth.  Right then I knew this was going to be great!

Nolan and Juan sharing a moment.  So sweet :)
