Raising Awareness for Different Reasons

“The Massey Challenge embodies my passion for medicine and my inspiration for becoming a physician.” Those are the words of Jamie Friedman, a fourth year medical student with Virginia Commonwealth University, who shares a past, present and future connection to supporting cancer research.

Jamie’s grandfather passed away after his battle with lymphoma more than ten years ago. “His disease and the complications he faced sparked my interest in medicine,” says Jamie.  “Over the next decade I watched others fight a similar battle, and lost several family friends to various types of cancer.”

It hit home again when Jamie’s father was diagnosed with thyroid cancer during her first year of medical school. Although her father’s kind of cancer had a good prognosis, he had to overcome many obstacles during his treatment. It was at that moment when Jamie decided she needed to do more. “I wanted to become more involved with cancer awareness fundraising projects,” Jamie remembers.
