A Decade of Triumph & the Ongoing Fight Against Cancer

March 2025 marks a significant milestone in my journey with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) — ten years since Rachel Darling was diagnosed with cancer and nine years since I had the honor of being named Woman of the Year in support of her. I’ll never forget the incredible outpouring of love and support for my team, “Team Darlings,” who came together to raise over $100K in just ten weeks, all in honor of Rachel, then a brave little girl fighting leukemia. Thanks to research and treatments funded by LLS, Rachel is not just surviving; she’s thriving. Today, she’s cancer-free and running for Student Visionary of the Year, continuing the fight in her remarkable way. The photos below are of Rachel in 2015 and Rachel TODAY!
