Innovators Network (IN) is a community of next-generation doers committed to fueling an end to cancer and related diseases in their lifetime. IN members give, volunteer, fundraise and rally their personal networks to advance cutting-edge research and compassionate care. Through collective energy and generosity, promising new projects can launch up to six times faster than research funded by government grants alone.
Please note that, due to the coronavirus pandemic, not all in-person benefits are possible at this time.
When Stephanie Florence was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma at age 34, her doctors told her it was incurable. “I wouldn’t accept that I was incurable,” Stephanie remembers. She began researching her options.
After years of treatments and relapses, she participated in a Fred Hutch immunotherapy clinical trial that completely wiped out her cancer. The clinical trial “gave me a new lease on life,” Stephanie says. “It’s almost like winning the lottery every day.”
