Emily and Trevor Johnson

We are incredibly honored to chair the 4th Annual American Cancer Society North Carolina Discovery Ball! Cancer directly impacted our lives and family, when Emily was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2021. Our oldest son was 7 months old at the time. After 18 months of treatment, which included chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and a stem cell transplant, Emily remains cancer free today, and we welcomed our second son in September 2024. Our family has benefited from the work of the American Cancer Society, and we are thrilled to give back through fundraising for the Discovery Ball. We ask you to join us to support their mission to end cancer as we know it.
