Survivors and Advocates Fight Blood Cancer | Omaha News

When cancer strikes a family, it changes everything — and these two women are turning heartbreak into hope. Diana, a Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor who battled the disease while raising her first child, now fundraises more than anyone for Light the Night Omaha — but her story also reminds us that not every fight ends in victory. Andrea lost her daughter Cordelia to rare infant leukemia at just 14 months, which led her to found Cordelia’s Courage Collective to support other families walking the same path. Together, they’re traveling to Washington D.C. to demand better treatments and even pushing for legislation in Nebraska to cap medical debt interest rates — so no family loses their home to cancer. Both will be at Light the Night this September, proving that survival, loss, and advocacy can light the way forward. Learn more and donate at lightthenight.org.
