Nick Balenger, a 17 year old honor roll student and standout pitcher from Lake Braddock High School, was paralyzed this past July when he suffered a spinal cord injury while vacationing with his family. In the six months since his accident, Nick and his family have displayed incredible grace and courage in the face of unimaginable adversity.
