About Nolan
As many may be aware, Nolan Keane was recently diagnosed with Brain Cancer. Nolan began feeling numbness in his arm, which prompted many medical tests. As all of his former Missouri State Baseball Bear teammates can attest, Nolan is an amazing guy with a very bright future. However, instead of working day in and day out to learn to hit a change up, Nolan now has a much tougher road ahead of him. But, just as he learned to dominate opposing pitching and become one of Missouri States great hitters, he WILL work just as hard to dominate cancer and become yet another inspirational story to us all!
Nolan is currently receiving chemotherapy and radiation in an attempt to halt and remove the cancer from his body. Mr. and Mrs. Keane are undoubtedly going through an extremely difficult time. But, as his former teammates and current friends, we will stay positive, and trust God to bring Nolan through this difficult time! However, this doesn’t change the fact that this is an extremely costly process, and one most families can’t prepare for! As his former teammates, but more importantly close friends, we want to help Nolan in every way possible. It is our job, and duty to provide his family with as much emotional/financial aid as possible.
On the right hand side of the page, you will see a donation button. We have set up a fundraiser for Nolan, and would IMMENSELY appreciate everybody’s help in this process. Economically it is a very tough time. It’s been hard to pay for gasoline, let alone make donations. However, we ask people to take a moment to picture Nolan, and his family. What we think is tough…isn’t tough.
Please donate money! 100 percent of the donations are going directly to Nolan and his family!
Your donation will help the family prepare for the astronomical medical bills that lay ahead. Please consider a donation….Nolan, his family, and all of his friends and former teammates thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Nolan,
Stay positive, pray constantly, and you will WIN.
Sincerely,
Your Teammates and Friends.

Hey Nolan,
It’s Coach 20’s better half here saying “hello”. I was going through some photos of last year’s games and just wanted to drop in and let you know that we think of you often. Evan turned 21 this past April and we gave him the Garth Brooks autographed ball we bought at the auction. He is such a huge Garth fan so it was hard for me to wait four months to give to him. I know he thinks of you too every time he sees it.
Anyway, take care and keep fighting. Our family will continue to keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Debbie
May 19th, 2009 at 6:06 pm

It is almost finals week so things are winding down around here. I’ve been cleaning out my office because I will be moving on also. I guess I’m finally graduating
May 4th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Hi Nolan. You of course don’t know me but I went to Annawan High School (my dad Jim Frankenreider used to be the head football coach there for years). I also used to hang out with your brother and his crowd every now and then(at least I think Pat is your brother and ok, I admit, I secretly had a crush on him). Anyway….I have been following your updates on facebook via Neil Lopez (whom I went to North Central College with). I actually work for a pharmaceutical company and the drug I sell is Avastin (Avastin is supposed to get approval from the FDA for recurrent Glioblastoma some time this week). So just wanted to send a quick note to say hi and let you know I was thinking about you. And everytime I read all of the clinical data about Avastin in Glioblastoma, I am motivated by you to go out and do the best job that I can to educate oncologists on this new option. I am not sure what type of brain tumor you have, but none the less….you motivate me!! Take care!
May 3rd, 2009 at 10:48 am
Nolan,
I am praying for you. And I know you know, but just a reminder that God loves you just as much as we do. Thanks for the memories, and you can beat this.

Hi Nolan~You don’t know me but know that I am passionate about finding a cure for brain tumors. My sister and brother-in-law were both diagnosed and I’ve held fund-raisers annually for over 10 years. Learn as much as you can and be pro-active. Did you know that the American Brain Tumor Assoc. (ABTA)is having the Path to Progress in Chicago Sat 4/25-There will be thousands of courageous survivors/families & friends If you plan to go I’d love to meet you and your family. Call me if I can be of any help or if you have any questions. I am very involved in the brain tumor community of friends who fight along with you.

Keep fightin!
March 26th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Hi,
Don’t know if you remember me. I went to SMS for my freshman year (04/05) and one month of my sophomore year in 05 before my accident at the Sigma Kappa house left me paralyzed. I was a swimmer and hung out w/Shafer, Ross, and Mackey a lot. I wanted to let you know that you’re in my prayers. God works in mysterious ways and there is a reason why everything happens. I thought it was the end of the world after my accident, but I realized there is a bigger picture and I have been given a chance to overcome many obsticals and touch others lives. You have no idea how many lives you’ve touched already and once you defeat this thing, you will touch so many more!
Good Luck and keep fighting!

Nolan,
Haven’t had the chance to meet you but we have some mutual friends. Your story has been inspirational and I really think its awesome that your friends are keeping everyone up to date with how you are doing. Just wanted to let you know prayers are being sent your way and people you don’t even know yet are behind you 100% of the way. Keep fighting!
March 3rd, 2009 at 1:51 am
Hey Nolan man your in my prayers and i know you’ll pull through if you are not doing so already.
March 2nd, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Nolan,
God Bless.
I’m glad to hear that you’re doing so well. Facing something like cancer is definitely not easy, but you have soooo many people praying for you, and it’s absolutely inspirational. I don’t know you and I have no idea how I was asked into this group to support you, but I’m really happy that I was. To hear your story is so insightful and it really puts everything into perspective for someone like me who feels that a day in a photoshop class is too much to take. I will continue to daily pray for you and your family. Thank you to whoever put the facebook group together. The updates are awesome, and I look forward to seeing them when I open my account. Nolan, you will be okay, and by the grace of God, you will be cured. Keep praying and keep your faith strong. I know you don’t need me to tell you that; it’s just to remind you

Hey Nolan,
You and I were never that close at WHS. I just wanted to tell you that I looked up to you throughout high school. You are so athletically talented. You’re hilarious. I know this is all so hard, but people are thinking about you and praying for you. Take care. Good luck…and perhaps I’ll see you around since I hear you’re at Mizzou.

I haven’t seen you forever! Whenever I think of you I of course think of giving you and Cuz a ride home in Shatiqua Shadow, our “Faith Bible Camp” adventure, and the time you came to U of I and had that funny cast. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
February 19th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Nolan, just a quick note to let you know that you and your family are still in our prayers. I hope that your health is improving. You are a fighter and I am confident that you will win the battle.
The boys are on their way to MTSU and I am sure that they have dedicated this season to you. You have alot of friends on this squad. I will save you that seat at Wichita as promised….but I will also make the same plans for the Regional, Super regional and Omaha.
Best regards,

Hey Nolan and Family! This is Charity that played softball at SMS when you were there! I hope all is going great, and honestly being positive and keeping Faith during this curve ball event is the best cure you can do. I recently had a little boy that was only 1lb 7oz and he is fighting just like I know Nolan is. It’s amazing what one person can overcome by the power of FAITH!! Love ya Nolan and keep the positive, optimistic side of you alive, it’s what will help you get through anything. You are such a wonderful, great guy and I know there are many praying and supporting you.
February 6th, 2009 at 11:57 pm
Everytime I read these I keep thinking the bright side of this challenge is the interaction between you and so many that you may never have known cared about you so much and showed the sensitive side of themselves. Thanks for continuing to make all those around you try to feel positive. Always look forward to seeing you. rjh
February 6th, 2009 at 8:13 am
Keep fightin Brother, all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us!!!!!

Nolan,
I’m not sure if you remember me or not, but we played against each other in high school and even farther back than that. I went to Stark County when you were at Wethersfield. I just wanted to drop you a line and say that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you the best!
Sincerely,
Ryan Boarman

Nobie,
Man it’s been too long! My Mom told me about your sickness and I was really shocked. It seems that sometimes in life, bad things happen to good people. But, God never gives us more than we can handle. I guess I have never got a chance to tell you congrats on everything you’ve done buddy…WOW. I always knew you would be great. Even though you were a few years younger than us, I always looked up to you. You made things that the average person wouldn’t even consider possible look simple. You brought a lot of laughs and good times to me growing up, and it looks like you still do that for so many people in your life.
You’ve always gone above and beyond what you should have been able to do, and I expect that this challenge will be no different.
Tell your folks I say hi if you get a chance.
Ryan
February 4th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Hey Nolan! I just wanted to let you know how great it is to have you back home, on the mend and feeling somewhat back to normal. We sure love having you around so much! And let’s face it, twhen else could I possibly BEAT YOU in athletics….even if it’s only the video-game variety!
LOVE YA!

Hey, Nolan,
We know how hard you have worked in your life to achieve all those goals you have achieved so far, and we are imagining you using that same work ethic to overcome this monumental obstacle. You are in our thoughts and prayers and we see you as we always saw you, in perfect health, whole and complete, even though you are experiencing a reality that seems very different right now. There’s a reason for every experience, even though we don’t know what that reason is and it doesn’t seem to make sense. You will emerge a stronger, wiser, more loving person than you could have imagined, healthy and whole. Just look at all the love on this website. We are so impressed!
Our best to you always! Win this battle!
February 1st, 2009 at 10:07 am
Our family feels very fortunate to have had the opportunity to watch you play and to have met your parents.
We very much enjoyed cussng and discussing games with your parents and you were always a PRO to us.
Watching you hit against some of the best pitchers in ALL of college baseball tells us you will also WIN this battle, you never gave up and we know you won’t give up now.

Nolan,
The Wichita State baseball team recently heard about your condition. We were attending a church service together and many of our thoughts and prayers went towards you and your family, and will continue to do so. We all remembered exactly who you were because of your talent and obvious desire. The guys expressed great disappointment in hearing that this happened to such a great player. Use your desire to grind this out, just like grinding out a season. On behalf of the Shockers I just wanted to say that you have fans in Kansas and we are looking forward to playing against you along with your teammates this spring.

On behalf of “The Valley” umpires, I would like to pass on our thoughts and preyers. We would like to encourage you to attack this cancer the same way you did a fastball down the middle. We know you can “strike out” this disease.
January 18th, 2009 at 8:57 am

Ever since I remember you have been my brothers best friend, but to me, you have been a brother as well. You have grown not only to be a friend, but also a part of my family! I know I can always count on you to be there for me and even though I know you would never ask anything from me(other than directions back to Jake’s apartment in Iowa City from two UofI guys on bike’s!)I want to be that extra support you need to fight this, and I KNOW you can DO IT! I know this because you have always been a winner and this will not stop you from achieving and striving for your goals! You are in my prayers always and I think about you everyday! So, with that to say. . .Get better so you can come back to Iowa City and party at 808 with Jake and I!
haha Well I Love You Nolan, I will be talking to you SOON! <3

Hey Nolan,
My name is Jeff McCaffrey, and I’m good friends with Adam Pummill. He informed me of your situation, and I wanted to extend my deepest condolences.
About 6 years ago, when I was a freshman at the U.S. Air Force Academy, I suffered a spinal cord injury as a passenger in a car crash. The injury left me paralyzed from the waist down, and it has been that way ever since. I was medically honorably discharged from the Academy, and life as I knew it was over. All I had known, and all I was planning to do was nullified.
Life turned on a dime for me, just as it has for you. Neither of us chose the obstacles and adversity that are presented before us, but we have both chosen to fight it, and have the support of family and friends. What happened is neither fair nor right, but life is not always going to be fair. And just because it is not fair, does not mean that life can not or should not be good. Because it can be, and it should be. But we have to fight for it.
I’m not going to lie to you or patronize you. A long, hard battle awaits - there will be good days and bad, difficulties and challenges that seem insurmountable - but one way or another, you will prevail, regardless of the outcome.
Take nothing for granted. Fight for each and every inch. Turn to family and friends for support. And remember, no matter how dire the situation be, there is always hope - and that in it of itself makes it worth fighting.
God speed.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:30 pm

I got your text on Christmas and I appreciate you thinking of me, while everyone including me has been thinking of you. Thanks! Hope you and your family had a nice Christmas and may the New Year answer all the thoughts and prayers for you Beaner. Sorry about your Bears and the playoffs. Just like the Cubs….wait till next year. Hope to see you at the end of January in Springfield.

Nolan; My racquetball partner, Tom Pickett told me about you and this website. I wanted to offer my support and prayers for a successful recovery and being able to get back to playing hardball. Keep the faith, man, and good luck, Richard Adams

It was great to spend Christmas Eve with you and your family. You are an important part of our grandchildren’s lives. We admire you for your contribution to their well-being and completing the family despite the obstacles set before you. Now let’s tackle 2009.

Nolan:
I am a 14 year breast cancer survivor (a Mizzou grad) and my son Colin pitches for Knox College in Galesburg, IL. Two years ago he broke his humerus in half while pitching. Only a few as you know have done this and come back. It was faith and hope and the love of friends and family that made this so.
It sounds like you have all three! Best wishes. WIN IN 2009.
I hope our donation helps. Wish it could be more.

Just read your inspirational story in the Journal Star. Sorry that we lost your outstanding services and personality to the Bears. In turn, belated congrats on your All-Valley career at MSU. On behalf of all the Braves, keep battling like you always have. You are in our thoughts and prayers and we are confident that you will soon earn another big “victory”.
All the bests for a Happy, Healthy, and Holy ‘09 and beyond!….God Bless.

Nolan - as a Shocker fan, and a huge college baseball fan in general, I wanted to drop by and tell you how much I appreciate your enthusiasm and passion for playing the game.
But the fun battles you were part of with MSU-WSU mean little right now. I hope you knock this one out of the park and get back to your old self soon.
I’ll continue to keep you in my thoughts and check back on your progress.
Keep swinging! Best of luck to you, Nolan

Dear Nolan,
I had a chance to speak to your father yesterday and it sounds like your treatments are going well. I can only imagine the inconvenience and discomfort you must face at times, but knowing you the way I do, I know that you will stay positive and on the right course.
I also spoke with Coach Guttin today. I enjoyed speaking with him-it had been quite a while. As you know, I’ve always respected him and the athletes he has had in his program.
It sounds like you have alot of friends, family and teammates that are in your corner and that’s a tribute to the person you have always been.
I will be keeping good thoughts for you each day and feel free to e-mail me at anytime. This is the time of year that I’m home most of the time and I would definitely like to be updated on how you are doing.
Sounds like a big storm approaching today, so I hope your travels go safely to Iowa City. Hopefully, the month of January will be better than December has been so far.
Your friend,
Jim Pransky

Hey Nolan,
I’m not sure if you remember me, but we had some HRA classes together at MSU. Just wanted to let you know that I work with several grads of the hospitlaity program and we are thinking about and praying for you. Stay strong and I have no doubt that you can beat this! You definitely have a lot of love and support from everyone. God Bless!
December 17th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
I have been wanting to write you a message for a while but every time I start to write something I get really upset. So many people in my life have been affected by cancer and I am struggling with the fact that you are having to go through this. I just wanted you to know that YOU WILL BEAT THIS. I think about you every day…and obviously by all these responses you have impacted a lot of people in your life, including mine. Cancer may be stronger than the body, but it will never be stronger the mind. Stay strong mentally, stay positive, and know that we are all here supporting you! I love you!

I was thinking about you the other day when your Cubbies couldn’t close on the Peavy deal; kind of your life story and not being able to close. Haha jk…well good luck with everything man I miss you, everyone is praying for you and we can’t wait to see you again.

Coach Dunne from Bradley just told me about your situation yesterday. You’re one of the toughest kids I ever covered (I still tell kids about you playing your senior year with one arm) and I have no doubt you’ll deal with this sickness in the same manner. Stay strong and positive and good things will happen.

You may not remember me, but I was you neighbor when you were a little boy. I watched you keep up with your brother Pat and my brothers in anything and everything related to sports! They were all older & bigger but you always managed to hold your own! My wife Eileen, was diagnosed in March 07 with breast cancer at 39 years old. With great support from family, friends,a wonderful team of doctors, we too are holding our own and doing well! Stay positive, know that you are loved, and know you are not alone! Anything we can do for you or your family don’t hesitate to let us know.
Love,

December 13th, 2008 at 3:14 am
Hey Nolan,
I don’t know if you remember me, but I used to keep grounds for the SMS baseball team at Price Cutter and then at Hammons Field. Tonight was the first time I heard of your condition. I want you to know I am praying for you and know that you have the strength and courage to beat this. Stay strong and come out of this better than ever.
December 12th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Hey all,
I know I am kind of out of the loop, but I am on the other side of the world, with little internet access these days. But can some one please let me know the good news haha. And hang in there buddy, I have been friends and known you for a long time. I know you can do it.

Hoping for some positive results from another test for you tomorrow. I realize it’s not a HRA final. Bunten, Todd,Drake and others are taking those starting next week. Praying like everyone that this test is your best ever!
I guess your Bears squeaked out a win tonight vs. Saints….has to be a good sign! Go Rams….yeah right! We’re trying to lock down that 1st pick if the freakin Lions and Bengals among others would pick it up. Love you man!

You have a ton of friends and support to help you through this, not to mention a great family. You must stay positive, laugh alot and eat good food. You know me as “Shaners” mom from MSU. You always gave 150% on the field and always had a smile on your face. Thanks for making baseball so exciting for your fans and team mates. With your positive attitude and perserverance you will win this too!
All of our love and prayers.

We are saddened to hear about your news. However, in the face of divirsity YOU have always been a winner, and you have proved that many times over. The Tag line on Facebook is a great idea to ensure people know what you are going through. Keep The Fight Up-as you have always been a winner. Our heart goes out to you and your family, in your time of need. I hope we have a live fundraiser held in Kewanee to ensure more money is to be raised, for your medical expenses.

You don’t know me but you know my special lady and girlfriend Karen Callahan. We have prayed for you together. I ask about how you are doing often. Although you don’t know me, we are human beings and some of us do care about others without meeting them. I promise to pray for your healing as often as the spirit of God brings it to my attention. Hang in there, stay strong and keep looking up. Because that is where He is watching over YOU!

I still remain active as an Associate Board member and continue to raise $ for brain tumor research. There are many options and treatments available today-please feel free to e-mail me or have your family contact me and I’ll guide you and help you find resources.

Hey Nolan,
I just wanted you to know that I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. We all know that you can win this battle, just as you did the hundreds of times we played baseball and basketball together throughout the years. If there is anything me or my family can do to help you or your family out, don’t hesitate to ask.
Tell everyone in the family I send my best.
December 8th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Nolan…and everybody else,
I spoke with the Chicago Bears organization, and Stewart…you should be getting some stuff in the mail soon!!! Also, they wanted you to know that the entire Bears Organization is thinking about you and on your side. Don’t be too surprised if somebody from the organization writes something on here!!
Specifically this is what the Bears Org. said…
“We are very sorry to hear about Nolan’s situation, and we wish him all the best. We are certainly very fortunate to be able to count him among the Chicago Bears family.
We would be happy to put together a few small Chicago Bears items for him, along with a note from the entire organization wishing him well.”
Nolan, this is just more and more people on your side and in your corner! It’s alllll of our prayers vs cancer.
WE WILL WIN.
December 8th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Nolan, been keeping up with the Keane/Bialobreski boys school/sports exploits since forever and it’s great to see how all of you have grown & matured (I know that’s being generous to Scott, but it is the holiday season.) I hope the toughness you honed in all the years of athletics will do nothing but help in the battle ahead. You and your family are in our thoughts and we look forward to the day you knock this thing out like a hanging slider. Hope to see you soon. Larry/Rosalie Schnmidt.
December 8th, 2008 at 11:28 am

I believe in you and so does everyone in my family. You have set a wonderful example to so many children (including my Nolan)with your strength in believing in yourself achieving your baseball dreams so again you must believe in yourself, YOU CAN AND WILL GET WELL.

Hi Nolan,
I don’t know you, but I am a high school friend of Rachel Wakefield, who must be friends with you because she invited me to join a facebook fundraising group for you. I read your story and wanted to know that I know a little bit about what you are going through. My wife Megan, 22, was recently diagnosed with stage IV unresectable bile duct cancer and will be starting chemotherapy on Monday. The last few weeks since her diagnosis have been probably the hardest of my life - and hers - but the one thing that gives us strength and always keeps our hopes and spirits high is our Lord Jesus Christ. God gives us strength to get through anything that lies ahead of us. I will pray that God will give you and your family the strength to get through this, as well. And as I pray for my wife every single day, I will pray that you will respond well to your treatment and, ultimately, be cured of your cacner. Don’t give up hope. Nothing is impossible for God. He is always with His children and will never leave them.
“God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall in to the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. The Lord almighty is with us…. Be still and I know that I am God” Psalm 46:1-3,7,10
Stay strong and good luck!

We’re thinking of you all the time. We know you can beat this and will be back at the ballpark soon, “big cat” needs some advice on his “do”.
December 5th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
We remember you every day in our prayers, Nolan. Your folks, too. You will be all right, you have a very special nurse.
December 5th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Nolan, It’s hard to think that someone so young could have this happen to them. All through school and all through athletics you were never one to quit…and no one expects you to now. Keep fighting this Nolan….or I’m going to have Court live with you
Wishing you the best, Darrel

December 5th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Hi Nolan - As the campus switchboard operator, I try to keep tabs on as many of our athletes as possible (which ain’t an easy task but a fun one). You’ve been in my thoughts and prayers since I first heard about your initial testing…talk about a run-on sentence! In any case, I’ll continue sending positive thoughts to you and your family and you continue swinging the strong bat.
December 5th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Nolan,
Stay strong, good luck, and get well soon!!

I just wanted to say that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong, think positive, and continue to trust in the Lord. You’ll beat this!

December 4th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Hey Nolan,
I’ve already told you that, as stubborn as you are, there’s nothing that can beat you. Stay strong. Every day somebody says something or does something that reminds me of the kid that got the nickname “Baby Shoes” from his roommates during freshman year - and then wrote about it in a paper for IDS 110. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Darren
December 4th, 2008 at 3:00 pm

Hmmm, seems no one calls you that anymore, eh?
I heard all about this from my parents…Let me first say how sorry I am and know that you and your fam are in my thoughts. I just cannot believe it…really…but, I know you’ll beat this. You’re a really tough kid.
Just know that it might suck right now–but, it’ll get better. It will.
Hang in there…

Nolan,
I’ve known you since 4th grade but never REALLY got to know you personally. But what I can say about you is that we have grown up together and I’ll be the first one to say this, along with everyone else in our class, I consider you to be somewhat like my brother. The class of 03′ are all brothers and sisters. With that said, we are all gonna help fight this with you.
Don’t forget during the tough times to stay focused on yourself and only yourself. Think positive thoughts. You know you can do this. Be DETERMINED and never let anything get you down. I know you are scared. I’m scared for you, but you are a very strong person and we know, YOU KNOW, you will win! Everyone loves you and is praying for you! I will think of you daily and pray for your recovery!!!
Hope to see you soon and don’t forget to smile!
Much love,
Laura

Hey NoNo…
Wow, you definitely have a lot of family and friends thinking of you and praying for you! Although I wish we lived closer so we could help a little more, we think of you every single day, and you are in my prayers constantly! Good thing you have Kal & Kellan to hang out with to take your mind off things every once in a while! I’m sure singing and dancing to the Wiggles does the trick each time.
Keep fighting hard, Nolan! You are a hero to us all!
Lots of Love!
