Our mission: Save lives. Provide hope. Help those impacted by blood cancer. 

There Goes My Hero was founded by leukemia survivor and bone marrow transplant recipient Erik Sauer. 

On May 20, 2008, Erik was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). One week later, Erik’s wife Lisa gave birth to their son Joey. Several days later, Erik entered Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he spent four rocky months, receiving chemotherapy and, ultimately, a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor.

Erik's own fight led him to want to help others. Today, Hero partners with DKMS to add potential lifesavers to the National Bone Marrow Registry; provides meals to patients undergoing treatment and their family members, and supports those impacted by blood cancer through grants to help pay for expenses not covered by insurance such as transportation and parking.
