In Trevor’s words:
My name is Trevor Schaefer. I was born in San Diego, California October 19, 1989. When I was six years old I moved with my mother and father to McCall, Idaho. When I was 13 years old I was diagnosed with brain cancer. My mother and I moved to Boise where I could receive medical care. During the course of my chemotherapy treatment I witnessed many children who were experiencing cancer. This motivated me to want to find out what was causing so much of this disease in young people. I am very concerned about environmental toxins and how it relates to cancer and other diseases.
