GRACE WETHOR - AWARENESS chair
Meet Grace
Grace Wethor is an award-winning actress, director, bestselling author, & brain cancer legislation advocate. After being diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumor at age 13, she moved to Los Angeles and began pursuing her dreams in film with full force. She gave her first TED Talk at age 15, released her first bestselling book at 16, spoke at the United Nations at 17, and released her first docu-series at 18. In 2024 she was honored with a United Nations Global Impact Award.
She is now a brain cancer/pediatric health legislation advocate and has made her way to the White House & Capitol Hill while spearheading bills that would bring over $250m in funding to youth healthcare. Ten years later and still fighting, she hopes to use film to tell unseen stories & show other young people that they can pursue their dreams despite their circumstances or illness.
