Sachem East alum Louis Segreto passed away from his battle with cancer last month on his 25th birthday. It sent shockwaves through the Sachem community since Segreto was known and loved by many.
His family and friends recently launched a foundation in his honor to, “improve the quality of life for patients battling life threatening illnesses and lessen the financial burdens that come in times of crisis for their families.”
From the Foundation: Founded by his family in Long Island, NY, the Louis Segreto 26 Foundation honors the life of Police Officer Louis Segreto by aligning itself with the virtues which Louis lived by. Having been at Louis’ side for over a year while he fought Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), the Segreto/Maisano family spent their days in the hospital with each other and quickly grew to appreciate that there are those less fortunate. Above all, there comes a time when everyone needs to be reminded about what they’re fighting for.
