Naia’s Light: Healing Kids Through Red Therapy

About this episode

A brave 10-year-old cancer survivor, Naia, turned her battle with Burkitt lymphoma into a mission to help others. During treatment, she discovered red-light therapy dramatically reduced painful mouth sores — a common side effect. Inspired, her family teamed up with hospital staff to expand access to this simple, non-invasive treatment. Through relentless community fundraising, they accelerated the program’s rollout, delivering nearly 5,000 treatments in just months. Now cancer-free, Naia’s legacy lives on as her family’s efforts earned them “Everyday Heroes” recognition and sparked hope for global adoption of this life-changing therapy.
