SHEYLA SCHOLL
President & Founder
Sheyla is a soldier in the United States Army Reserve. 4 months after she graduated CBRN AIT at Fort Leonard Wood, MO in October 2016, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma at 19 years old. After completing treatment at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital in Minneapolis, she started to notice that resources and education for servicemembers with cancer, particularly national guardsmen, were lacking. Although very blessed to have such a support system during her treatment and state resources available to her disposal, she decided that cancer in the military needs more awareness. Since she's transitioned into survivorship, she took up a lengthy resume of legislation she's tackled at the state and federal levels with the help of other cancer organizations.
