She is founding Chair of the SIOPEN Advocate Committee, a member of the ITCC Advocate Committee, and previously served as a member of the AACR Pediatric Working Group Steering Committee and ACCELERATE Steering Committee. Leona’s son Oscar died of neuroblastoma in 2014 following extensive therapy in the UK and US.
