LFS AWARENESS EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
Each Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Awareness Month, the LFS community spreads the word about LFS through local news media and shares their personal LFS stories on social media.
On LFS Awareness Day, March 20th, the community gathers online to learn from informative webinars, to play fun trivia games, to celebrate our LFS Hardship Grant awardees, to win prizes, to share and laugh and cry with their LFS peers, and to commemorate the birth anniversary of Living LFS founder Jennifer Mallory. Watch all LFS Awareness Day videos.

REMEMBERING: LFS PATIENT ADVOCATES
Jennifer Mallory and John Berkeley were key drivers in ensuring that those living with Li-Fraumeni syndrome would never fight LFS alone. They are both deeply missed, and we are grateful for all of their contributions to the Li-Fraumeni syndrome patient community.
