Nickolas Runs for Life After Transplant | Brisbane News
Description
At just 19, Nickolas De Bonis is heading to Germany to represent Australia at the Transplant Football World Cup — one of 14 transplant recipients competing internationally. Diagnosed as a baby and given a second chance with a life-saving liver transplant in 2007, Nickolas has turned football into his lifeline, building confidence and resilience since age four. Already honored as Queensland’s Young Sportsperson of the Year, he’s using this global stage to inspire others that with grit and belief, anything’s possible. As part of the “thanks for life” Australian team chasing improvement from their seventh-place debut, Nickolas embodies the power of organ donation — not just as an athlete, but as a living ambassador for the selfless gift that changed his life.
