Stand Up To Cancer

This special "With You, We Stand" is dedicated to Deandra Trevino who is an inspiration to the SU2C team.

One of the brightest stars in the Stand Up To Cancer constellation, Deandra Trevino serves as an example of courage and strength for her community. In 2006, when she was just 26 years old, Deandra launched her own business, the West End Salon in Boulder, Colorado where she was born and raised. But just one year later, after noticing an unusual swelling in her stomach, Deandra was suddenly diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. Despite her diagnosis, she has spent the last three years committed to fighting this disease, growing her business and staying positive. "The reason I was diagnosed," Deandra said in a 2008 interview, "is so that I could be an inspiration." Recently, Deandra learned that her cancer has spread to her liver, and so she is spending these important days in the company of her friends and loved ones. We Stand Up for Deandra Trevino.
