Help Scott Fight Choriocarcinoma: Support His Journey to Recovery


In April of 2024, Scott received a life-changing diagnosis: choriocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of testicular cancer. This news turned the world upside down for Scott and his partner, Liv. But if you know them, you know that they’ve faced this challenge with unwavering strength, positivity, and resilience. Scott, ever the optimist, continues to respond with, “I feel good,” whenever asked about his health—a testament to his incredible spirit.


Last year, Scott took a leap to follow his passions, embracing life to the fullest. But life threw an unexpected curveball.

After multiple rounds of chemotherapy, and a few stem cell transplants, they thought they were in the clear—until they weren’t. The cancer returned, and Scott is now undergoing an even more aggressive treatment plan. Scott is now preparing for major surgery to remove cancerous growths from his lungs and abdomen.


Daily life has become increasingly challenging. Liv, who balances her role as Scott’s primary caregiver, has had to step back from her career as an elementary school teacher to protect Scott from illness, especially during flu season. The emotional and financial strain of managing his treatment, travel for specialist care, and maintaining their household has been overwhelming.


But through it all, Scott and Liv’s resilience remains unshaken. They’ve fought hard, and now, they need our help.

Whether it’s through donations, sharing their story, or simply sending positive thoughts, any support you can offer will make a world of difference. Your contributions will go directly toward Scott’s treatment, travel for medical care, and covering daily expenses.


Let’s help Scott get back to doing what he loves—cycling down scenic trails, hitting the slopes, and playing a round of golf with the boys. Your kindness and generosity during this difficult time mean everything to Scott and Olivia. Together, we can help them navigate this fight and bring them closer to brighter days.


Thank you for your support—it truly makes a difference.
