Patrick’s Story

Patrick’s life was more than his fight against cancer. He coined the term “We Can Do Hard Things” and has sparked inspiration through his legacy, showing that despite his diagnosis we all have the capability to keep showing up, fighting, and making a difference in other people’s lives.

Therefore, our vision has the potential to expand its impact elsewhere. We can’t wait for you to be a part of it.
