Let's Bring an End to Blood Cancer
Team Tobon was created in 2014 in memory of Diego Tobon, Camila and Isabela's father, who lost his battle with Leukemia. Our team motto, "Shine on," keeps Diego's spirit alive in our commitment to raising critically needed funds to support new research and patient support so that fewer families are forced to navigate the uncertainty and isolation of a cancer diagnosis alone. Throughout the years our team has raised over $443,000 for Blood Cancer United (formerly known as LLS) mission!
