VRC hopes that by raising recognition of Hodgkin’s Disease they can increase an understanding in society of the need for funding for both support programs within the Hodgkin's community as well as the research of new, more tolerable treatments. VRC was the vision of a young Hodgkin's patient that no one affected by this disease should feel alone or unsupported.
