University Southern California Trojans
Trojan Wish: Nicholas Pinkerton Smith
September 13, 2017 | Trojan Outreach, Features
On Saturday, a very special young USC fan had the time of his life at USC's football game vs. the Stanford Cardinal.
Nicholas Pinkerton Smith, who was diagnosed with nail-patella syndrome as a baby, enjoyed a tour of USC athletic facilities before visiting the Cardinal and Gold tailgate for free lunch, meeting the world famous USC Song Girls and watching the Trojans post a 42-24 win over Stanford at the Coliseum.
Smith's illness inhibits his ability to extend his arms, and also affects his kidneys, hearing and eyesight. But he stays active in baseball, soccer, rock climbing and more, and rides horses as part of his therapy. Smith, who has upwards of 30 relatives who graduated from USC, hopes to one day don Tommy Trojan's outfit and ride USC's majestic mascot, Traveler.
