Blue Faery Award Winner
8 April 2009
Blue Faery gave its first annual Blue Faery Award for Excellence in Liver Cancer Research to Dr. Snorri S. Thorgeirsson, a doctor with the National Cancer Institute who has devoted his career to fighting liver cancer. Blue Faery celebrated Dr. Thorgeirsson’s achievement by donating toward his innovative research and by giving him a commemorative Blue Faery Award plaque. Dr. Thorgeirsson is delighted and honored to be the recipient of the award and has stated, "I am of course aware and deeply respectful of your untiring dedication to advance research in Liver Cancer. This award is certainly a stimulus to vigorously continue our quest to conquer this dreadful disease.” Blue Faery chose to announce the award on Adrienne's birthday; she would have been 23 years old today had she survived her battle with HCC.
