Community Update: 49ers Wish Presented by Brocade

On a sunny Friday afternoon at the 49ers SAP Performance Facility, Niko and his family experienced an afternoon for the books. Niko, an 11 year-old soccer lover and 49ers Faithful, was diagnosed with cancer last year, when he felt ill after playing a tiresome weekend-long soccer tournament. Niko’s cancer is situated on his brainstem. After surmounting an invasive surgery and undergoing six rounds of chemotherapy, Niko was connected with 49ers Wish presented by Brocade, to give the athletic pre-teen the sports fix he so desired, and the opportunity to meet the San Francisco 49ers.
