The Unites States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) has announced that Sean will be skating in the 2nd Annual Skate For Life Benefit for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, June 27, 2009. The benefit will be held at 5:00 p.m. in the Hoover Arena in Strongsville, Ohio. Tickets will go on sale May 8.

In addition to Sean's performance, fans and donors in attendance will enjoy the figure skating artistry of Parker Pennington, Alissa Czisny, Melissa Gregory and Denis Petukhov, Jennifer Robinson and many more national and regional skaters donating their time and talents.

The Skate for Life Benefit was organized by Parker Pennington in 2008 to honor his father, a victim of MD. Sean agreed to appear and skate in the first Skate for Life Benefit to honor his mother, Helene, who also suffers from Muscular Dystrophy. Sean is also dedicating his second appearance to her this year.

All proceeds from the benefit will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
