Their families get support as well, which makes a world of difference for everyone.

You see, on New Year’s Day of 2018, I was a newly diagnosed cancer patient. I had just underwent surgery, a bone marrow biopsy, several different scans, and was barely conscious from all of the pain medication pumping into my body. I was about to embark on nine months of agonizing treatment, both physically and emotionally. Although most of my memory from those first few days is very hazy; what I *can* vividly recall is sobbing over the fact that I just didn’t want to do it.   [read more »](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/the-new-year) 1 Comment [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/the-new-year#comments-listing) Topics: [Non-profit](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/non-profit), [education](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/education), [Pediatric Cancer](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/pediatric-cancer), [Blood Disorders](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/blood-disorders), [pediatric](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/pediatric), [cancer](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/cancer), [childhood cancer](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/childhood-cancer), [awareness](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/awareness), [oncology](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/oncology), [new jersey](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/new-jersey), [nonprofit](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/nonprofit), [advocate](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/advocate), [patients](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/patients) ## [Meet Olivia](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/meet-olivia) Posted by [The Valerie Fund](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/author/the-valerie-fund) on 12/20/18 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/hubfs/Meet-Olivia-blog_picture_new2-1.jpg)](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/meet-olivia) When a 17-year-old girl receives a cancer diagnosis, she experiences a tremendous loss.

They spent the evening filling out questionnaires, chatting, bonding, eating pizza, and touring the beautiful facility. Many parents of the younger ambassadors also joined the orientation. ### An important part of the evening is always the medal ceremony. Each ambassador is awarded a special medal for his/her service to The Valerie Fund to be worn the night of the Gala. The ambassadors also have their picture taken to be featured in the Gala's program along with their handwritten excerpts.

This year, the event will be held at [The Grove](https://www.thegrovenj.com/) in Cedar Grove, NJ, a new location for the first time in over two decades. A tradition that will continue is inviting current and former Valerie Fund patients to be the evening's ambassadors. Guests will have the opportunity to meet with the ambassadors both informally in the ballroom and at Learning Depots. Learning Depots allow Valerie Fund patients and caregivers to educate guests about all the services the organization has to offer. This year's ambassadors range in age from six to 19. They come from diverse backgrounds and were diagnosed with different pediatric cancers or blood disorders. They have shared their stories on how The Valerie Fund has helped them and their families. Their responses will be featured in the Thanksgiving Ball Gala's program as well as in this series of blogs.
