The Mighty Quinn

This year is the first year for The Mighty Quinn team, in honor of my dad, Michael Quinn. After about 11 years of fighting Multiple Myeloma, my dad passed this May 2026. He will forever be the strongest person in my life, my biggest role model, and the person who truly showed me what it means to care for the other guy.

No matter how difficult my dad's fight was, he never let it get to him. He was the type of guy that when life got tough, he would just smile and laugh his way through. From fractured vertebrae or jaw to a brain bleed, he would not give up. Unless you knew him personally, there would be no way of knowing what was going on behind the scenes and that's how he liked it.

Throughout my dad's diagnosis, one of his biggest driving factors was to help the next person and advance the understanding of Multiple Myeloma. Over the course of 6 clinical trials, he was able to provide invaluable data to help the patients after him. That is something he took pride in and just one of the many reasons he kept fighting.

With that in mind, my dad never wanted to be defined by his battle with cancer. Instead, he should be remembered as the guy who would open his home up to local and international college students when they couldn't be at their own home, a mentor and coach to those around him, a Deadhead and Parrothead through and through, a classic car owner, and most importantly a loving father and husband.

His goal was to never be limited in his abilities due to his diagnosis, but to prove that he could still do the things he loved. From sailing choppy seas around Cape Cod to hiking Mt. Washington in NH, there wasn't anything that would get in his way.

One of the only things that cancer was able to take from him was his love of running. Although it made him hang up his running shoes, there is not a doubt in my mind that the decades of training helped him put up the good fight.

To try and follow in his footsteps even just a little bit, I’m participating and creating a team for Miles for Moffit.

We are asking for your support as we fundraise for cancer research at Moffitt Cancer Center. 

Research at Moffitt results in new clinical trials and new treatments that help improve the lives of those touched by cancer.

Please join us in raising funds for patients, families, survivors, and caregivers by joining our team or making a gift to our team fundraising page. Every dollar matters to supporting Moffitt's mission - to contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer. Thank you for your support!

I would also like to provide a special and heartfelt thank you to the staff, nurses, and doctors of the Moffitt Cancer Center ICU. Specifically; Gina, Matthew, Carlos, Katie, Dr. Cox,  and those who made the most difficult moment in my life a little easier.

Words cannot express how grateful my family is for the ICU team. They were compassionate, caring, and delicate in supporting my dad and family. This team will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
