About the founder
Leslie and Chris O'Gorman
My professional background is mainly financial. I’ve worked for a few large Wall Street banks and ran my own investment business for twenty years. I have fairly good contacts in the sports, entertainment and business sectors, which has led to this new charitable undertaking.
Aside from a few sports related injuries, I was fortunate to experience overall very good health. Over the last couple of years, things have changed. At age 59, I’m now a stage III cancer patient. In the last 15 months, I’ve had two melanomas (skin cancer) removed, both of which had penetrated deep below the outer layer of skin.
This was a surprising and frustrating development, given that I had been undergoing frequent dermatological exams. The lymph nodes in my left underarm area have been removed and doctors are closely monitoring the lymph nodes in my left leg. Advanced melanoma is a metastatic cancer that will typically travel to the lymph nodes first and if not stopped will travel to the bones, brain, liver, and/or lungs.
I am being treated by a superb team of doctors at the University of Miami’s Sylvester Cancer Program. I undergo frequent scans to detect any potential cancer spread and am being treated with immunotherapy medication. Chemo is not effective against melanoma. It’s possible that I may enter a drug trial in the near term. Overall, I feel good and remain very optimistic. In the next 18-24 months, new medication should become available that is expected to significantly lengthen the lives of many melanoma patients. Within the next several years, melanoma cancer will likely become a highly treatable disease given the amount of research that has been deployed to this area. I am extremely grateful to be able to reap the benefits of previous cancer research!
Last August, my sister died of ovarian cancer 12 months after being diagnosed. Sue was beautiful, a great athlete and had a special outgoing, charismatic personality. She is survived by her incredible husband of 37 years and 3 amazing children. It was a devastating loss for us all. Ovarian cancer is a tough one. It’s typically not detected until it has moved outside the ovaries, which means discovery at stage III or IV in many cases. Research funds are greatly needed!

Cancer support has always been important to me and my wife. When living in NY, we were very involved with Ronald McDonald House in NYC for over ten years. It was an amazing experience, yet heart wrenching to see normal family lives thrown in to disarray by childhood cancer. We were very grateful to be able to lend support. Some of the children that we came to know survived and some did not. None of it seemed fair to any of the children or families. Research funds are greatly needed!
Whether it’s personal, a family member or friend, cancer will eventually affect us all. I’m all in on fighting cancer for your family and mine!!!
