Nash's Heartfelt Wish to Play in the Snow
At just three years old, Nash has already lived a life with more courage than most of us could ever imagine.
Diagnosed with cancer at only 21 months, Nash faced grueling six rounds of high-intensity chemotherapy, a liver transplant, and four rounds of maintenance chemo.
“Nash spent nearly 150 days of that year in the hospital, enduring procedures and treatments that no kid should ever go through,” shares his mother, Kendall.
But through it all, Nash’s spirit shined bright, reminding everyone to live in the moment.
“He’s just full of life,” his mom, Kendall, says. “Unstoppable would be the word for him. He’s faced so much, but he takes every challenge head-on and owns it.”
Kendall remained mindful of the balance between acknowledging Nash’s incredible resilience and encouraging him to just be a kid.
“Being a kid is what Nash does best. He’s cheeky, mischievous, and full of energy—always ready to push the limits and flash his signature smirk when caught red-handed. “He’ll look at you like, ‘It wasn’t me,’” Kendall laughs. “He’s at that cheeky little age, and it’s great.”
After enduring months apart from his family during treatment, Nash’s wish was clear: to play in the snow and simply be together.
We missed being a family. It wasn’t about anything fancy — just being together in a cabin, surrounded by nature.

For Nash, the snow represented more than just a chance to play — it was a symbol of his fresh start.
The stars aligned Nash’s wish trip with a monumental milestone, his first anniversary of being cancer-free!
“The timing was perfect,” Kendall says. “He had been through so much, but during his wish he could run around, play with his brother, and just be a kid.”
“It’s something we’ll always look back on as a golden spot in our lives,” Kendall shares. “Planning the wish gave us hope during such a tough chapter in Nash’s life.”
Even now, Nash and his siblings talk about the trip constantly, pleading for the family to buy a cabin in the snow someday. “They think it’s the best idea,” Kendall laughs. “I told them I’ll start saving my Monopoly money.”
Today, Nash continues to inspire those around him. Though he faces regular appointments and wears hearing aids due to treatment-related hearing loss, he approaches life with a kind heart and relentless energy. “He’s truly unstoppable,” Kendall says with pride.
As for the future, Kendall is hopeful for quieter days ahead.
“Nash is looking forward to fewer appointments and more time just being a kid,” she says. “Nash’s wish allowed him to breathe and celebrate everything he’s overcome. It was a reminder of how far he has come.”
Nash’s journey is a story of overcoming the unimaginable and finding light in life’s toughest moments—proof that even the smallest among us can be truly unstoppable.
It’s something we’ll always look back on as a golden spot in our lives.
