In the Spring of 2007, and at the young age of 20 years old, Sean passed away after a life long fight with cancer. The legacy he leaves behind, however, impacted all those who knew him. In his short life, Sean accomplished more than many healthy individuals do their entire lives. He led an inspirational life, and it is the hopes of this foundation to continue what Sean started; we hope to be an aid in the lives of those who embody the attributes that all of us saw in Sean: a desire to live a worthwhile and exciting life, an interest in helping those in need, and a hope to impact the lives of others. It is with this in mind that the Foundation seeks out ways to help those who, despite dealing with a serious chronic illness, live their life to the fullest just as Sean did.
