Prior to her participation in WHL, Lourie Campos had never publicly spoken about her experience with cancer. She explains, "I did not fully understand or recognize the positive impact my story could have...But, WHL has taught me to take risks and to find my voice. During my year in WHL, I was a featured speaker on a "Living with Cancer" series in Santa Cruz; I submitted my cancer story to a newspaper and it was printed…on the front page; I was a panelist on Assembly member Elaine Alquist's "Women's Health Forum;" and I was selected as 1 of 8 people to represent California and to provide testimony to the President's Cancer Panel."
