A life far too short. A legacy still growing.
In July 2019, 21-year-old Liam "Trip" Nugent was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. One month and one day later, he was gone. Trip was more than Ryan Nugent's little brother — he was his only sibling, his best friend, and his business partner. In the weeks after losing him, Ryan turned grief into action.

A partnership built on trust.
Life's A Trip chose to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada intentionally, after direct conversations with their team about the reach of their programs. To date, Life's A Trip has contributed $37,500 to the LLSC — unrestricted funding supporting research, education, community services, and advocacy for people affected by blood cancer.
