'The Red Drug', is a platform based off on an analogy of the medicine 'Doxorubicin' the bring awareness on Lymphoma, a blood cancer, common amongst children in their 20s.

The drug is often called the "red devil" because of its distinctive red color and its potent side effects .

What will TRD do?
The idea is to create a platform that will serve as a companion, offering a structured way to document their emotions, track their progress, and find encouragement through shared experiences, mindfulness exercises, and supportive resources tailored to their unique challenges. By fostering a space for reflection and empowerment, I hope to bridge the gaps between treatment, societal understanding, and mental well-being.
