Sadly on Monday, May 6th, 2024, our beloved son and brother, Nick passed away after a courageous battle with MDS/Leukemia due to a rare TP53 gene mutation.​Always thinking of others, Nick asked us to “please help find a cure” and we intend do everything we can to help do that. ​While the medical professionals were amazing, Nick encountered three significant challenges which we hope to adress:One, there is no early scanning for this type of disease,Two, there is currently no cure or standard treatment for this disease combination (meaning someone with MDS and a mutation of the TP53 gene -- which is a tumor suppressor gene) and,Three, there is a gap in holistic care including support for young adults.This website is dedicated to Nick, and his life, with a goal of helping further education, research, and most importantly, finding a cure for MDS and Leukemia with a TP53 gene mutation.Please see below to donate to the Nicholas P. D’Antilio Fund for MDS/AML TP53 Research at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. ​We’ve also established a scholarship at URI to help support education for students interested in environmental and animal sciences and who have also demonstrated kindness and friendship in their lives as Nick had always done.
