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 surviving brain cancer. His fundraising combined $32,000 from the Golden Mile Swim Meet and $13,000 from a Swim Across America event.
- Following his younger brother Christian's leukemia treatment, Huynh's own brain cancer diagnosis struck the family just over a year later. The family became intimately familiar with cancer battles through two consecutive diagnoses.
- At the Golden Mile Swim Meet in Orlando this May, Huynh raised $32,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. At another recent meet in Orlando with Swim Across America, his laps generated an additional $13,000.
- "No matter how hard the battle may seem at first, continue to fight," Ethan said, urging others facing cancer to persevere. His mother Lien Van called the family's two survivals "statistically almost impossible."
- Recognized as a community champion, Huynh—nicknamed "Mighty Miles" after his two-year battle—continues to fulfill an internal promise made during recovery to support others fighting cancer.
