Our Team

Dr. Evan Lipson

Founder

Seize the Days is a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating and sharing how cancer patients have added unique and meaningful life to their lives. The organization documents, presents, and preserves the stories from patients, family members, friends, and caretakers.

Dr. Evan Lipson founded Seize the Days after seeing firsthand the devastating impact of a cancer diagnosis on his patients. Through his Baltimore-based oncology practice, he treated a diverse group of patients whose lives were suddenly upended by cancer. In treating them, he heard their stories of how they started making big, positive changes in their lives.

The project evolved from a desire to help patients and their families share and memorialize their stories, highlighting their passions, and encouraging more people to live their lives to the fullest.
