Hi and welcome!

The Sean McCarthy Live Passionately Foundation was created in memoriam after Sean suddenly passed away while completing a half marathon. He was a healthy 27 year old. The foundation’s goal is to foster a greater awareness of heart health and improve emergency responses at youth and young adult sporting events and other community events by providing AEDs and CPR trainings to communities. Additionally, annual scholarships are awarded to a middle and high school student who demonstrate an ability to balance academic excellence, leadership, athleticism, and social awareness as Sean did.
