On September 6, 2019, Lena Andrianakos was diagnosed with High Risk B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) at the tender age of 21 months old. Within days of her diagnosis, she began intense chemotherapy treatment that has been ongoing ever since. The treatment plan for cases like Lena’s continues for over two years following diagnosis. Lena is set to complete her treatments in January 2022.

Throughout her battle, Lena has demonstrated remarkable resilience and strength. She has managed to maintain her contagious smile and wit while always lighting up every room. She is a true inspiration to all.

At the time of Lena’s diagnosis, when her parents were trying to find a way to stay strong for their little girl, they came across a quote that resonated with them. The quote stated, “After every storm there is a rainbow, no matter how long it takes to show up”.

As the storm began to clear, the rainbow began to appear, and now, The Lena Fund is here.
