Goal

Thank you so much for visiting my page and for supporting such an incredible organization.

At just 17 years old, Andrew DeStefano should be focused on the exciting milestones ahead — preparing for college, spending time with friends, and continuing to grow as the talented pianist and young man so many admire. Instead, Andrew is facing the fight of his life.


Andrew has been diagnosed with leukemia and is currently undergoing intensive chemotherapy. Each day brings new challenges, but Andrew is meeting them with incredible strength, courage, and unwavering faith. A devoted Christian, he leans on his beliefs as he battles this disease with grace far beyond his years.


Those who know Andrew know his kind heart, his quiet determination, and his gift for music. Andrew is at Ridgefield High School, class of 2027 and former Ridgefield Little Leaguer (T-Ball - Majors/Marines) and was diagnosed with leukemia in August of 2025. Among his many talents, Andrew is an accomplished pianist whose talent brings joy and comfort to others.  


I am walking for Andrew DeStefano as he continues his courageous fight to help give him the future he so deeply deserves.
