Grant's Matey's

Ahoy Matey's,

My name is Grant Lafoon, and in 2015 I was diagnosed with a Grade IV primitive neuro-ectodermal tumor (PNET). I graduated from East Carolina University with a major in Construction Management (Go Pirates) in 2012 and was working as a home builder in Raleigh, NC where I grew up. I underwent a stem cell transplant followed by extensive radiation and chemotherapy at Duke Medical Center, and have since been cancer free for 10 years (and counting)!

Now that I have weathered the storm, I am building a wonderful life with my wife and two dogs, Hazel and Gus, and our newest family member…our son Harrison who is 11 months old and the joy of our life! 

Please join me in supporting the individuals that have made this all possible, and the patients and families that continue to fight.

- Grant
