In 2022, Sayers’ daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, a life-changing event that reshaped his priorities. He stepped away from other responsibilities to become her full-time caregiver and has since been an advocate for pediatric cancer awareness. To support families facing similar challenges, he pledged 100% of his royalties for the first 90 days of sales from Hoplite Ridge to the Clements Cuties Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping children battling cancer.

Through his contributions, he has worked to ensure that those facing end-of-life care receive the dignity and support they deserve, extending his impact beyond storytelling into real-world advocacy.

His time at sea influences his work, bringing an authentic sense of adventure and exploration to his writing.
