My Reason Why

Nikki is participating in Stepping with the Stars to honor her family, friends, and colleagues whose lives have been or were affected by cancer. “Cancer sucks and I am hopeful that someday we will find a cure. For those currently in the fight and the caretakers supporting them, I pray for your strength and healing. May every moment and step be filled with love and compassion.”
