Speaking & Advocacy
Invite Lorna MacKinnon Day to speak at your next event. Lorna is a gifted author and storyteller who has advocated for cancer research at soirees, galas, and other fundraisers for the Sam Day Foundation.
Lorna speaks from the heart about love, grief, and caring for her son with Ewing sarcoma while navigating the American medical system.
Based in Portland, OR, Lorna is available nationwide for keynotes, book signings, readings, and discussions at bookstores, libraries, conferences, parents' groups, and more. She is also eager to share her perspective on podcasts, panels, webinars, and local television. Get in touch for more details, scheduling, and speaker fees.
Lorna and the other people who loved Sam worked together to create the Sam Day Foundation, a nonprofit organization, in 2018. SDF advances research on childhood sarcomas and brain tumors with the best potential to transform treatment and radically improve outcomes.
Since the Sam Day Foundation launched in 2018, more than $2.7 million has been committed to research and multiple projects continue to be vetted for additional funding.
