Meet Rihab Nasr, who is one of the incredible climbers who will be trekking the Avenue of Volcanoes in Ecuador this February!
Rihab is a cancer researcher focused on developing targeted therapies for leukemias and biomarkers for early cancer detection. She is also the founder of AMALOUNA, an American University of Beirut-affiliated organisation dedicated to fighting cancer through awareness, prevention, and research.
This February, Rihab and her daughter will join a team of scientists, oncologists, advocates, and CML patients climbing for a cure.
"I believe scientific research does not happen in a vacuum. Scientists belong to a community that extends beyond geographic borders with the unique goal of spreading knowledge and finding solutions to major health issues such as cancer," says Rihab.
Support her journey and help us advance CML research and care worldwide: climb-for-a-cure.raiselysite.com
