National Students of AMF

Following the loss of David Fajgenbaum's mother, Anne Marie Fajgenbaum (AMF), to brain cancer in October 2004, he decided to create an outlet for students, who like himself, were coping with an illness or death and suffering in silence, without support. Students of AMF began as a support group for 10 of David's peers and quickly grew into a support network that involved over 400 members of the Georgetown community. The Georgetown chapter of Students of AMF was named the University's "Outstanding Direct Service Program." The national statistics indicated that this issue extended far beyond Georgetown.
