We're excited to announce that the Lymphoma Research Foundation invited us to participate in the LRF CEO Advisory Committee. This committee aims to elevate patient and caregiver voices within the Lymphoma Community to inform programs and initiatives within the LRF. The committee is made up of about a dozen people from across the United States and Canada, meeting twice a year to discuss special topics. Chike's brother, Adwin, and I are proud to represent the Chike Springer Foundation and continue to advocate for underrepresented groups.

We had a great time representing the Chike Springer Foundation in June at the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) AYA conference. This year was the first year they included patient advocates and we were one of three represented. We had the opportunity to learn more about the research needs of our community and connect with others who are passionate about making a difference through innovative research.
