“I came very close to losing my life.”
These are the powerful words of Greg Papa — the beloved, iconic voice of Bay Area sports for the 49ers, Raiders, Warriors, Giants, and A’s. For decades, Greg has brought fans unforgettable moments, unforgettable calls, and an unmistakable voice that defines game day across the Bay Area.
In 2024, at 20 years old, Nolan’s world was upended by a diagnosis of Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare and aggressive bone cancer that impacts children and young adults. The months that followed were a blur of biopsies and grueling chemotherapy. The physical toll was immense, culminating in a life-altering surgery that took half of his pelvis.
At the Strike Out Fear Foundation, we understand that a cancer diagnosis impacts far more than just the physical body. For many, the emotional and mental toll can be just as heavy as the physical one. That is why we believe that nurturing the mind and spirit is an essential part of the journey toward wellness.
