The Ursta's Become VIP's at Steelers Training Camp
Nick is battling cancer that he got as a first responder at Ground Zero. Today he and his wife are getting VIP status at Steelers Training Camp!
Hey folks, it's a special day at Sparkt. If you've been following the journey of Nick and Margaret Ursta you know it hasn't been an easy road. Nick is battling cancer while trying to build a dream-home for his wife. We've enlisted the help of several different amazing groups and individuals to help get the job done.
More on that later, but today we decided they needed a break from all of that stress. We're taking them to Steelers Training Camp ! They're getting the VIP treatment thanks to the generosity of yet another generous person who wants to remain anonymous.

Nick and Margaret Ursta watch the Steelers practice from the sidelines at training camp.
