At the age of 13, Nick Roumonada was stricken with bacterial meningitis (meningococcal) and was not expected to live through the night. While his life was
saved by his parents' swift action to get him to the hospital, Nick's left leg had to be amputated below the knee as a result of the disease, this was followed by a second life altering event when Nick was diagnosed with Focal Dystonia (a neurological disorder) which ended his adult career of being an accomplished professional musician. Nick was recently a resident of New York, NY but moved to San Diego, California to fulfill a new chapter of his life by becoming a part of CAF (Challenged Athlete's Foundation) allowing him to dedicate all of his time to help bettering the life of fellow Challenged Athlete's like himself.

 

A current statement from Nick puts everything in perspective to one of his largest goals now being part of CAF. Quote "I am now proud to be part of CAF and will work as hard as I can so no child has to wait 17 years like I did to receive a running leg to accomplish goals once only of dreams".

In 2011 Nick was hired by CAF and is proud to be part of such a dedicated team as he works to promote CAF awareness www.ChallengedAtheletes.org
