A GoFundMe has been created to help Sage, the 5-year-old daughter of Better Lovers drummer Clayton “Goose” Holyoak who left his tour after her leukemia diagnosis this month. The fundraiser was created Monday and has already raised more than three times the $10,000 goal.

Per the GoFundMe: Sage is doing wonderful as she is on day 5 of treatment. There are just a few more labs we are waiting on over the next few days (or weeks) regarding the extent of treatment. But as of right now, it will be about a 6 month cycle treatment for Sage. We have a long road ahead of us, and we are just taking it day by day to be honest. It is unfathomable that our precious, perfect little girl is going through this, while it also feels like things are piling up in the corner that we’re trying real hard to not focus on.
Clayton’s original message about the diagnosis:
My youngest daughter Sage was diagnosed with leukemia on December 3rd, 2024. The past few days have seemed like a bad dream. Sage is my best friend. I’ve never felt a kind of love for another person like I do for her and her older sister. Back when I was out of work before better lovers started, I would watch her while her mom would go to work and her older sister would go to school. We spent so much time, adventures, travels, and laughs together. She really is more funny than most grown ass adults. She has such a creative mind and huge energy weather it be in the energetic or relaxed realm. Sometimes I wish I had her brain to create art. She always surprises me with her new obsessions with things because shortly after I too become obsessed. She’s always one step ahead of the cool game. If I could take her place right now I would because when she grows up, she’s going to really do some incredibly amazing things. Nothing means more to me than watching her grow up. This should not be happening to her and we’re going to do everything possible to insure that she makes it out of this.
If you can, please consider donating. If you really can’t, please keep her in your thoughts.
