Muerto Skateboards

A few years back my sister did a very touching yet gritty story on friend, tattoo artist "E".

E is a victim of MS and i remember looking through the photos of the story and really feeling inspired by his positivity and his amazing style of tattooing.

"E" was forming a skateboard company at the time and as a gift to my sister he gave her the first deck that they had produced.

Today they are a full fledged company of some of the most sought after designs and best shaped decks .

Now based in Oceanside, CA

Nick has been diagnosed with stage 2b-3b Nodular Sclerosing Hodgkins Lymphoma. Nick was diagnosed while coaching ski racing in New Zealand in the summer of 2008, and he has been battling the disease here, at home in Vail, ever since. As long-time Vail residents, Nick, his parents Kate and Mark, and brother Nathan have been heavily involved in ski racing with Ski Club Vail, where Nick was an athlete and has been working as a coach for the past 5 seasons. Nick is the kind of person whose friendship has no bounds. Anyone who has known him over the years is amazed with his caring touch and kind heart. His loyalty to friends and family and compassion for all are unequaled. In trying to emulate those qualities, his friends have started a website as a portal into his world right now and as way to ask for help on behalf of Nick. As of July 2009, Nick has completed his first round (8 months) of chemotherapy. 90% of people with Hodgkins Lymphoma are cured or go into remission after this first round, but Nick has found himself in the other 10%. As a result, Nick now faces a much more intensive and demanding second round of chemotherapy that involves long hospital stays and extensive travel to Denver. Nick also faces a bone marrow transplant, full-body radiation and 5 weeks in Denver at the end of his current chemotherapy prescription.from nickasoian.com
