Not only have I become the CEO and Head of Advocacy of My Own Personal Health, but I have learned how to love and be loved. While I will always be learning, difficult times bring out the best in the people who love you and you love.

“I believe that there needs to be more young adult cancer peer groups. Young former cancer patients like myself struggle to make new friends due to long lasting side effects and disabilities that result from our cancer. These side effects and disabilities cause us to no longer be able to do a lot of things most other young adults like to do. I feel that if we form more cancer peer groups, than young adults who have a harder time getting around can bond with others in similar shoes. “

“I have been going to a camp called Camp Quality since 2014. This camp is where kids with cancer go and get to be kids again. We go for a week in the summer and I have a “camper” that had cancer. All the kids that go there have or had cancer and multiple kids had Hodgkins, but I honestly didn’t know what it was- I just knew *of* it.”
