Rita Avila
Opens in a new window YMCA of Northwest Arkansas
Rita wasn’t going to let cancer get in the way of her dreams of becoming an industrial engineer. While in recovery from her second occurrence of cancer, she juggled an internship, work, school and other demands. However, she still made the time to participate in LIVESTRONG at the YMCA where she found that laughter really is the best medicine. This is her Y. Her camera. Her story.
