In 2020 she served on a team to fundraise for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) and was nominated to be a candidate in 2021 for the LLS Man and Woman of the year and was honored with the title of Woman of the Year for 2021. She got involved with LLS because she lost her Uncle to Leukemia. In September of 2020 she received news that no parent or grandparent ever want to hear. Her grandson, Jaxon, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Fortunately Jaxon was able to have a bone marrow transplant and was in remission until January of 2023 when the AML came back with a vengeance. He was in the Children’s Cancer Partners program and she witnessed all the good this program did for her family. Jaxon passed away on February 26, 2023, just 10 days after his 12th birthday. He left behind 5 siblings. Her family is adjusting to the new normal and Lauren wants to give other families the gift that her family was given.
