About Michael
Michael was a sophomore at Providence College when he was diagnosed with leukemia. Spending weeks and sometimes months in isolation while struggling with complications, Michael strived to live a life of courage, integrity, and faith.
To keep Michael's memory alive, his family created the foundation to help other families faced with the same difficult journey.
