Harry Hudson

Cancer Survivor • Artist • Founder, Hey, I’m Here For You

Harry Hudson is a multi-faceted artist and advocate who leverages his personal journey to help others navigate life’s most profound challenges. After a Stage III Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis at age twenty, Harry transformed his confrontation with mortality into a mission of radical honesty and purpose. As a musician and the founder of the nonprofit Hey, I’m Here For You, he is dedicated to improving the adolescent and young adult cancer experience through mental health-focused hospital communities.

Beyond his music, Harry is a sought-after speaker who challenges healthcare leaders, universities, and corporate organizations to move beyond burnout and start living fully. His talks transcend his history with illness, focusing instead on the essential questions of identity and presence. Harry’s message is a powerful call to action: to stop managing life from a distance and wake up to the limited, precious time we have.
