Cancer Survivors in Gainesville

The Florida Alligator reported a story early in the summer about cancer survivors from the University of Florida, participating in an auction/ model show called Cure by Design to raise money for cancer research on campus. The students had all been previously diagnosed with cancer and survived and are helping to create awareness by sharing their personal experiences. Now, they attend UF and most of them are recipients of a scholarship given to student survivors, under the age of 21. These students had to struggle against overwhelming odd's and they survived; here today giving their time to promote awarenss and to help others afflicted by the same disease that they were afflicted by.
