Brain Cancer Survivor Pursuing Her Dreams: How Grace Wethor Is Making An Impact

This is the incredible story of the 23-year-old Grace Wethor, an award-winning actress, director, bestselling author, and advocate for brain cancer legislation, who went from a brain tumour diagnosis to pursuing dreams. After being diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumour at the age of 13, she moved to Los Angeles and began pursuing her dreams in film with full force. She gave her first TED Talk at 15, released her bestselling book at 16, spoke at the United Nations at 17, and released her first docu-series at 18. In 2024 she was honoured with a United Nations Global Impact Award. Her most recent book, Seven Thompson & the Art of Remembering, went viral with over 10 million views and hit multiple bestseller lists worldwide. She is now a brain cancer/pediatric health legislation advocate and has made her way to the White House and 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 and show other young people that they can pursue their dreams despite their circumstances or illness.
