In 2009, Janet Liang was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia while majoring in international development studies at UCLA.
During her treatment at the UCLA Medical Center, she began her “Team Janet” campaign. After undergoing several aggressive rounds of chemotherapy, Janet achieved full remission in 2010. Unfortunately, in December 2011, doctors informed her that she had relapsed...
Her cancer has returned. She now has until June to find a perfect marrow match — her best option for a full recovery.
Born in Hawaii, Janet now lives in the San Francisco area. She is currently receiving treatment until a marrow match can be found. Janet’s dream is to be a teacher and to obtain a master's degree in public health or social work.
