Join Mike Burke at the 24 Hours of Booty, featuring young adult cancer survivor and long‑time 24 Foundation supporter Lauren DiFrank. Lauren, in remission from Hodgkin’s lymphoma for 12 years, has participated in 24 Hours of Booty for over a decade—raising thousands of dollars to support survivorship programs that go beyond medical treatment.

Lauren reflects on the profound personal connections she formed through the event, including meeting her late husband, Rob, through the community. Together they pledged their lives to philanthropy and healing, and this year's ride marked her first lap in his honor since his passing last November.

In this conversation, Lauren opens up about:
• Her cancer journey and how the 24 community helped her finish college and navigate treatment
• The emotional significance of riding in 24 Hours of Booty
• The real impact of fundraising dollars on access to survivor‑centric services like art therapy, transportation, and nutrition programs that insurance doesn’t cover

Tune in for a deeply human story of love, loss, resilience, and giving back—where every lap around the Booty Loop reflects the healing and hope that Lauren and countless others carry forward.
