About ‘One Mission’ – One Mission was born out of Ashley and Ari Haseotes’ own family’s journey with cancer. At seven months old their son, Nicholas, was diagnosed with AML, a rare form of leukemia. They spent six months living at Children’s Hospital Boston, their lives turned upside down. Thanks to advancements in research, and the compassionate care and expert treatment their son received, today Nicholas is cancer-free. This life-changing experience inspired them to start a foundation that would make life better for children and their families living with cancer and would help put an end to this terrible disease. One Mission is based in Massachusetts and serves the needs of pediatric cancer patients and their families living in the greater New England area. One Mission is a Section 501(c) (3) public charity.
