Just yesterday,
I was a person.

Today, I am a patient.

Just yesterday, I was a person.
Today, I am a patient.

We are you.

We’ve lived the fear. The pain. The desperation.
You fight to win — so do we, with you.

Does what we do — today — help you win, today?
That’s our test. It must be yours too.

If not, we don’t do it.
That’s how we win.

Hello

My name is Steve Holmes — I’m a patient, survivor, and co-founder (with my wife Claire) of this patient-led, caregiver-powered foundation. I will now help guide you through this, so you can get the strongest possible start.

You didn’t plan for this diagnosis. No one does.
But now that you’re here, you need more than care.
You need a way to respond — and a community with the right culture to support that response.

We’re here to help you do that — with clarity, strategy, and strength.
Because treatment alone is not enough — it’s only half the story.

Never assume anything.
You have more within than you know.
This challenge will unlock and unleash it — but only if you get out of your own way… and let it rise up and lead.

Your greatest strength—
To be open-minded and Willing without condition.

Your greatest asset —
It’s the lived expertise of patients, caregivers, and clinicians who’ve been to the edge… and built their way back.

We are built on that.
Built on what works.
And built on a culture to respond — and win.

“Just yesterday, I was a person. Today, I am a patient.
I must become the best patient I can possibly be — so I can become that person again.
— Steve Holmes
