Name: Nolan Arve Kroll
Age: 7 and a half
Where do you live? Monticello, MN
How many relatives do you have with BCM?
I know my Papa (maternal grandfather) does and his cousin and my mom’s cousin so that’s three. (Note by the family: Nolan is actually the first in our family to be officially diagnosed and we have been tracing it back now through our family tree. We have identified at least 7 males going back to Nolan’s grandpa’s grandfather and great uncle who almost certainly had it – 4 are still living. Nolan’s grandpa is having genetic testing done now.)
What is your job/would you like your job to be?
Right now, helping Daddy and Papa with yard work and stuff. When I grow up, I want to be a police officer, like my Dad.
What are your hobbies?
Swimming, playing outside with my friends, and building forts.
What is your most useful BCM tip?
Try different colored lenses and see which color can help you see best. I like red the best!
What would you tell younger BCM boys/your younger self?
Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
Greatest achievement/proudest moment so far…
Learning how to ride a bike with no training wheels in about 5 minutes last summer.
Not many people know this about me but…
I’ve been to Florida 3 times and I have a really cool collection of shells that I’ve found there.
