Thank you for visiting our team's page!

As you might know, the fight against sarcoidosis is a cause that is important to our family.

Sarcoidosis is a rare, often chronic inflammatory disorder that causes the formation of granulomas, or clumps of inflammatory cells. This can occur in almost any organ in the body, most commonly affecting the lungs, lymph nodes, skin and eyes. Sean was diagnosed with pulmonary and cardiac sarcoidosis after sudden cardiac arrest in November of 2022. There is currently no known cure for this disease and treatment options are limited and often ineffective.

I have chosen to support the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR) by fundraising for Team KISS!

KISS stands for Kick In to Stop Sarcoidosis, and that’s what you'll be doing by supporting my page. FSR is the leading nonprofit dedicated to finding a cure for this disease and improving care and treatment options for sarcoidosis patients. The funds all go directly to FSR and their programs for improving patient education, supporting patients and their caretakers, and of course, funding research to find better treatment options and one day, a cure.

We are hosting a walk on October 4th, 2025 on the Ocean City Boardwalk to raise money and awareness for sarcoidosis. Please consider helping us to reach our goal. Together, we can Stop Sarcoidosis!
