Nick Geddes is a downhill mountain bike rider from Whistler, British Columbia, who fell ill during a competition and was unexpectedly diagnosed with leukemia.

Vimeo Description by Leo Zuckerman:

More than a few late nights and weekends ago, Nick and I set out to make this little film. As an intermittent project, it had it’s challenges, but Nick’s an inspiring dude, and we’ve done our best to represent his story through this short vignette. Enjoy.
