“Every cancer deserves a voice, and every cancer deserves a cure.” - Laughlin Foundation
What happens when your loved one is diagnosed with a rare case of cancer, where there is little to no information about it anywhere, and doctors don’t have a protocol to treat it.?
Our guest on today’s episode lived this truth when her mother was diagnosed with a rare form of endometrial cancer. After searching for answers, Courtney Laughlin and her family decided to take matters into their own hands and create awareness around this rare cancer, and others like it, by starting the Laughlin Foundation to raise funds for research.
This close knit family is the epitome of strength and resilience, where they took a dire situation and turned it around to make a difference, and have some fun while they’re at it.
Their mission isn’t only to raise funds for research, it’s also to educate more people on these rare types of cancers and to get people talking openly about “below the belt” subjects, to reduce the stigma or embarrassment attached to it.
In today’s episode, you will hear how the Laughlin Foundation is partnering with doctors and schools to make sure that rare cancers are not being pushed aside so protocols and treatments are more readily available and understood.
This family is working hard to ensure this message gets out, so tune in to hear their inspiring story and learn more about their charity!
