“A few weeks into treatment, I had an allergic reaction to chemotherapy. The reaction caused me to have a stroke and a seizure. I lost all my strength and could no longer walk, let alone sit myself up in bed. It was a long 2.5 years of treatment and side effects (pancreatitis, liver failure, blood clots, and more), but I am happy to say I finally rang the bell this past December!” Instead of starting her junior year, Georgia started chemotherapy for her mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL). Despite devastating setbacks in her health, Georgia took the stage to share her story on local news and at the Student Visionaries of the Year finale. Young adults like Georgia face unique challenges, and through the Dare to Dream Project, we strive to meet the specific needs of younger blood cancer survivors. They deserve better.

"Discovering I had blood cancer brought a whirlwind of emotions—fear, curiosity about my future, and a belated clarity regarding months of fatigue and breathlessness misattributed to asthma. Seeing lymphoma on my chest X-ray was a relief and anxiety-inducing all at once. I want other families to understand that they are not alone. They need not feel isolated or helpless, as there are numerous online and local communities, they can join to connect with others facing similar struggles. By uniting and supporting each other, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those affected by blood cancer. I am pursuing a career in physical medicine and rehabilitation with dreams of helping others who undergo life-changing injuries or illnesses live life to the fullest, regardless of what limitations their conditions may have imposed upon them!” Since primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma became a part of Luigi’s life, it has inspired him to help others.
