On April 26 I will be facing off against cancer as I play in the annual RCCS Hockey Classic, benefiting the families and patients of RCCS. I am proud to support this amazing cause.

The mission of RCCS is to tackle cancer challenges, ease medical treatment, cover insurance premiums to lighten the financial burden, and make cancer care more accessible. RCCS stands by each individual throughout every step of the process, holding their hands along the way to help them fight and win the war against cancer.

While my challenges are related to epilepsy, not cancer, going through serious medical uncertainty has made me aware of how overwhelming and life-altering illnesses can be for patients and their families.

I know that my family has kept most of you in the loop, but if you didn't know, due to my seizures not being controlled by medication, I underwent brain surgery this past fall. I am happy to say that I’m back at school and feeling well. Being healthy enough to skate in this tournament, especially alongside my brother Justin, feels like a gift.

Many of you have been generous with your donations over the past two years, and I hope I can count on your continued support. It would mean a lot to me. Every donation to RCCS goes directly toward helping families manage the emotional and financial weight that cancer brings. Please check out my personal page.

Thank you for all the love, encouragement, and support you’ve shown me along the way. 

With Gratitide,

Griffin Hoch 💙
