“Man & Woman of the Year” titles. Raising funds for LLS blood cancer research the candidates compete in honor of children who are local blood cancer survivors, the Boy & Girl of the Year.
One of those 21 candidates are taking on an even bigger challenge as she represents the Washington, DC MWOY campaign in the 2022 All Star competition. The MWOY All Star campaign launched in 2014 as a fundraising competition among a select group of alumni. One former Man and Woman of the Year candidate can be chosen to represent their local market as the All Star Alum for that year.
This year’s fundraising is in honor of two special patient heroes, the 2022 Boy & Girl of the Year: 13-year-old Collin & 9-year-old Naomi, young blood cancer survivors.On Memorial Day 2020, Collin woke up with a mild fever, swollen tonsils, canker sores, and a small, odd protrusion on his jawline.
Over the next two years, she faced the fight against childhood cancer with the help of the Inova Children’s Hospital and Pediatric Specialists of Virginia’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders.
