OLIVIA STARTS FUND
Olivia reaches out to her local community via Facebook, sharing the challenges her mom faced in getting treatment. Her mom Sharla, diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in the spring of 2021, traveled two times a month from Boston to New York. Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York is one of 15 hospitals with the Hepatic Arterial Infusions. The fund was set up to help Mass General Hospital doctors to launch the program in Boston and create a named fund in Sharla's name.
