From NBC Olympics.com
"Bryan Fletcher started out as a ski jumper as a young boy, which he did to take his mind off of his chemotherapy sessions. He was diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL) at age 4, but by age 8, the cancer had gone into remission. Eventually, he made his way into Nordic combined (which combines ski jumping with cross-country skiing) and his younger brother, Taylor, followed him into the sport...
He has competed at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and World Championships in 2007, 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017. Bryan co-founded ccThrive, an organization that aims to get kids thriving after childhood cancer."
ccThrive is a non-profit organization that "encourages children with cancer to be as active as possible, both physically and cognitively and once off treatment, to be proactive and persistent in their full rehabilitation and entry into competitive pursuits."
