Young Nick Dupree Earns Lifetime Advocacy Award
December 13, 2006

MOBILE, ALABAMA--The following four paragraphs are excerpts from a story by WPMI-TV:

Here's an update to a story NBC 15 exclusively followed several years ago - "Nick's Crusade." It was about a young man from Mobile who took on state government to save his life and the lives of others. Nick was recently honored with a big award he very much deserves.

Requiring 24-hour-care, Nick Dupree needs a ventilator to take every breath. Yet his zest for life takes your breath away. At the age of 24, he's already been honored with a Lifetime Advocacy Award.

The Alabama Disability Advocacy Program (ADAP) presented the award in Montgomery.

"I am very honored and I'm glad that people remember and I hope they'll continue to remember these issues," Nick said after he received his award.
