OMG! A Trip Down Legacy Lane

Found these in a box while cleaning up around my apartment.

For the record, the programs for hashtag#OMG2010 in NYC (At Pace Universty and the debut of a young Kenny Kane), hashtag#OMG2009 in NYC (The one with the Barenaked Ladies) and hashtag#OMG2008 in NYC (At the Marriott Marquis that has no photo evidence of having ever actually happened) have been lost to time UNLESS one of you is the right kind of packrat and can cough up a rare nostalgic cancer miracle from the ether. Right Karen and Meg? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Such a legacy to look back on for the perspective we need right now. AYA cancer advocacy has changed so much from — as I wrote in the other post about the TIME Magazine expos — using machetes to create a dirt road to "better problems to have" like navigating better diagnostics, biomarker tests, immunotherapies based on genetics, rather than age, and an AYA infrastructure we hope as many new club members can take advantage of.

Remember, advocacy means if we do it right, no one knows. And if didn't do it at all, it would never get done in the first place.

Cheers to all of us.
