Florida Teen Swimmer Inspires Kids Fighting Cancer
Ethan Huynh raised $45,000 at two Orlando swim meets after surviving brain cancer and said the effort supports children facing treatment.
- Seventeen-Year-Old Ethan Huynh, a Montverde Academy student, raised $45,000 for cancer research through swimming after overcoming brain cancer, combining $32,000 from the Golden Mile Swim Meet with $13,000 from Swim Across America.
- Following his younger brother Christian's leukemia treatment, Huynh's own brain cancer diagnosis in 2023 left the family navigating consecutive cancer battles within a year.
- At the Golden Mile Swim Meet in Orlando, Huynh raised $32,000 for Jude Children's Research Hospital; his laps at a separate Swim Across America event generated an additional $13,000.
- "No matter how hard the battle may seem at first, continue to fight," Ethan said, echoing his mother Lien Van's description of the family's survival as "statistically almost impossible."
- Recognized as a community champion, the athlete nicknamed "Mighty Miles" continues fulfilling an internal promise made during recovery to support others fighting cancer through his platform.
