Bite Me Cancer
www.bitemecancer.org
Bite Me Cancer was formed as a nonprofit foundation in September, 2010, by Nikki Ferraro, who was 17-years old at the time. Nikki was diagnosed with Sporadic Medullary Thyroid Cancer in April 2010 when she was a junior at Chantilly HS in Virginia. Nikki was determined to lead a Relay for Life team just two weeks after her diagnosis. She named the team Bite Me Cancer and experienced immediate success. When Nikki decided to create a foundation a few months later, she wanted to continue the legacy of her team name and thus her foundation became the Bite Me Cancer Foundation. Nikki’s goals for Bite Me Cancer are focused on 2 large projects: (1) is to support teenagers battling all cancers by providing them with Teen Support Bags containing items specifically chosen for teenagers to use and (2) raising research funds and awareness for thyroid cancer.
