Margaux was diagnosed with dysgerminoma, a rare ovarian cancer, at age twelve. 🎗️

She underwent surgery to remove her right ovary and several rounds of chemotherapy over four months in 2020. She is now seventeen, a senior in high school, and cancer-free. She has spent the past year researching social and emotional isolation in pediatric cancer patients — work that led her to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, where she serves as a new Hero Ambassador. Next year, Margaux will attend UC Berkeley. Her hope is that her story offers other children facing cancer what she once needed most: the knowledge that someone understands.
