Hugo Kornelis is one of the good ones.  He's ridiculously smart, and intense, and curious, and direct...and he has a huge heart and he wants to help.  

On September 12, 2022, Hugo was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), and in a matter of days his entire world turned upside down.  The following week he was admitted to the hospital for treatment, and since his first round of chemotherapy, he's spent the past few weeks recovering, doing his best to regain strength before the next round.

Hugo was supposed to speak at several conferences this fall, including next month's PASS Summit in Seattle.  While he won't be there physically, we want to honor Hugo and his ongoing fight against AML.  You can participate!  

Even if you don't know Hugo personally, you've likely benefited from his knowledge, either through his blog ,his training , his unmatched reference material on execution plans , or one of his sessions.  

How can you support Hugo?  Buy a shirt and wear it on Wednesday at PASS Summit.  Not going to PASS Summit?  Wear it on Wednesday, November 16 and share your photo on social media!  Every shirt sold includes a donation, and the total amount raised will be donated to the Leukemia Research Foundation leukemiarf.org.
