For the first time, Abby Bray is sharing her cancer journey in her own words.
For years, Abby kept her story private. Now, five years cancer-free, she is choosing to share her experience and use her voice to advocate for other patients facing drug shortages.
Abby was Patient One for Angels for Change.
Today, she is helping carry that mission forward as a member of the Angels for Change Patient Advocacy Board, which brings patients, caregivers, and lived experiences directly into our advocacy work.
As Laura Bray shared with The National Desk and Spotlight on America:
““Patient one was Abby. And if I’m not willing to do for patient 800,000, what I did for patient one, then we’re missing the mark.””
That perspective is at the heart of our work. Drug shortages are more than a supply chain issue. They are a patient issue.
We are grateful to The National Desk and Spotlight on America for amplifying Abby’s story and helping more people understand the real impact shortages can have on patients and families.
Every Patient Has a Story
Abby’s story is a reminder that patient voices matter.
If you or someone you love is experiencing a drug shortage, we want to hear from you.
Your experience can help us better understand the impact of shortages, strengthen our advocacy, and push for solutions that put patients first.
You don’t have to navigate a drug shortage alone. Angels for Change is here to listen, help, and advocate alongside you.
For years, Abby Bray hid her cancer story. Now, she's using it to fight for others
It's a painful reality that's stretched on for years: shortages of critical cancer drugs threatening the lives of patients. Now, we're bringing you the extraordinary story of a young girl who battled cancer and those shortages, and is talking about it for the first time.
