The Ripple Effect: Amber Larkin selected to speak at 2013 TEDxOrlando

Now in its fourth year, TEDxOrlando produces an annual one-day conference where the greater-Orlando community shares the excitement of ideas worth spreading and celebrates technology, entertainment, and design in Central Florida.  TEDx is committed to excellence in sharing, fostering and developing ideas that matter, and to building a community where people who are passionate about ideas that matter can connect.

Our founder, Amber Larkin, will be speaking at this year’s TEDxOrlando conference. Amber’s journey into a world where no hope was given for her son, Noah, and countless other children diagnosed with brain cancer, energized her to change the face of pediatric cancer research. She co-founded Noah’s Light Foundation, which supports visionary research to cure pediatric brain cancer and aims to fulfill the first promise for new treatment in 30 years.  Amber’s passion to cure children with brain cancer has taken her all over the United States and to several countries to locate the best researchers in their fields. She hopes to see the end of pediatric cancer within her lifetime, and based on the promising research Noah’s Light Foundation supports, believes she will.

The event will be held October 12, 2013 at Winter Garden Theater in Winter Garden, Florida.  The conference begins at 11:00 AM.  Tickets are on sale through the TEDxOrlando website, http://www.tedxorlando.org/.
