Marine Raider Aaron Sekulov is only 35 years old. He has served in the shadows as a critical skills operator, in places across the world, doing what less than 0.1% of the world can or will do.
In January 2026, he was diagnosed with one of the most deadly forms of cancer - Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). AML fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow in which abnormal white blood cells multiply rapidly and crowd out healthy blood-forming cells.
The treatment for AML is to literally wipe out all leukemia cells in the bone marrow through chemotherapy. Because chemotherapy does not discriminate, it will kill all "protective" cells, placing Aaron at an incredibly high risk for fungal, bacterial, and viral infections, making this phase of treatment one of the most dangerous.
Once the leukemia cells are destroyed, Aaron will be given a bone marrow / stem cell transplant from a healthy donor (if you haven't registered yet to swab for Aaron, you can do so here: Swab for Aaron!)
While Aaron has coverage through TRICARE as he is still currently serving as a Marine Corps reservist, many things targeted towards a successful, clean, infection-free lifestyle is not. Here are some of the needs for Aaron and where exactly these funds will be used (invoices and receipts produced for reimbursement):
- $1,600 / month for apartment minutes from U of M Cancer Center for 8 months = $12,800
- $825 to clean air ducts in home to reduce mold / infection exposures (at least quarterly) = $1,650
- $2,300 for central air filter upgrade (HEPA quality) = $2,300
- $260 for upholstered furniture cleaning (at least quarterly) = $520
- $1,700 for rower/assault bike combo for home during quarantine period = $1,700
- $1,500 incline-capable treadmill for home during quarantine period = $1,500
- $10,656 for Sun Home Red light & infrared Sauna for quarantine period detox. = $10,656
- $500+/- for dietary-restricted foods (Neutropenic diet) while in treatment / quarantine (as live plants, fresh fruit, veggies carry extreme risks, Aarons diet needs to be high in protein and calories) = $3,000
- $1,000 for travel expenses / gas to-and-from treatment for Kelley and Aaron = $1,000
Totaling approximately $34,126 - all additional funds will be used for Aaron and Kelley's needs throughout his treatment and recovery.
