Mila Ogalla Toledo

I am a young adult with a lived cancer experience, and through my advocacy, I work to challenge the stigma surrounding cancer by fostering open conversations, especially around EOCRC.

I am passionate about improving healthcare delivery, especially for vulnerable populations like adolescents and young adults (AYAs).

Being part of a community has changed my life. Meeting others with similar experiences, working alongside them, and learning with and from them gave me a sense of belonging I didn’t know I needed. It also gave me purpose, and motivated me to pursue a path in patient advocacy.

My goal is to raise awareness and provide others with the information, support, and resources I found lacking during my own treatment and recovery.
