My dad was diagnosed with both Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) when I was 10 years old. Thankfully, he’s now been cancer-free for years, but watching him go through that experience at such a young age had a lasting impact on me. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to find a meaningful way to honor him and give back to a cause that is deeply personal to me.
Having the opportunity to be part of something bigger than myself is something I do not take for granted. This opportunity feels especially meaningful because of the personal connection behind it and the people involved. I’ve been close with my friend Brian for years, and over time, we’ve spoken a lot about ways to make an impact beyond our day-to-day careers. The timing and alignment of this opportunity felt natural, and it means a great deal to be able to support a mission that resonates so personally with me while doing it alongside people I genuinely respect and care about.
More than anything, this is about honoring my dad’s journey, recognizing how fortunate our family has been, and hopefully contributing in some small way to helping other families facing similar battles.
