  • I've had the pleasure of knowing Nick since 1985. The fortitude he displayed upon recovering from this disease in 1999-2000-and has since shown-is nothing short of admirable. He has taken this unfortunate occurrence, and completely turned it into a positive: both by winning multiple gold medals in Paralympic and World Cup Wheelchair Rugby, and by speaking to groups to educate them about this bacterial form of meningitis and the vaccine as well. Thanks Nick for being a great inspiration & friend!

  • Nick is soo inspirational! he actually went to my school and i got to meet him like 2 years ago! it was such an honor!!

  • Nick, you are a true inspiration - thank you for your strength and for sharing your history with us. You have saved 3 more lives....those of my children...thank you.

  • They do have a voice but their side effects from the vaccine are much less invasive and rarely even occur. Whereas this ACTUAL disease KILLS!!!!!

  • What about people who have been injured by the meningitis vaccine? How come these people do not have a voice?
