Well, NICKMERCS is out to change all that, as he and his family have been directly and severely affected by PWS. His cousin, Marco Kolcheff, is a patient of PWS, and with there being no cure, he has to be under constant care. In a video published on Nick\u2019s YouTube channel, the popular streamer offers a rare glimpse into his personal life away from the entertainment and gaming, as he, Marco, and several other key family members bravely opened up about how their lives have changed due to PWS. In the video, Nick explains that this charity stream will be the first installment of what he\u2019s calling the \u2018MFAM Project,\u2019 a series of charity efforts that will raise money and inspire discussion about any difficulties and issues that he, his family, or his streaming community may be going through. \u201cTo keep it simple, it\u2019s just a series of charity events that we\u2019re going to be doing on stream,\u201d he explained. \u201cBut I want to document it. I want to look back when I\u2019m older and say \u2018hey we did this and this is how we did it.’\u201d \u201cNick has been wanting to do something like this for a long time,\u201d said talent manager Justin Miclat, \u201cAnd after the amazing year he had, we all felt like it was time to turn the MFAM Project from concept to reality.\u201d Nick\u2019s management team, composed of Justin and his partners Stever Clerge and Justin LeCesne at The Kinetic Group, have been hard at work over the past few months in helping Nick put this charity project together. \u201cThe MFAM Project is charity taken to a whole new level,\u201d they said, \u201cIt will really open some eyes about the massive impact streamers can have on some of the world\u2019s biggest and toughest issues.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
