Lisa Potter
23, Baltimore, MD, Satola Family Scholarship
Diagnosed with cervical cancer and her father was diagnosed with esophageal cancer
“Cancer was my greatest educator and my antidepressant, and I want to share my experiences with others, especially those who are going through similar hardships. Prior to diagnosis, I had never considered donating to cancer research, or dedicating myself to spreading awareness of anything because I thought that there were already enough people doing that. Being diagnosed opened my eyes to the lack of advocacy for young adult patients.”
