Bio

Brandi Benson was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2009 while serving in Iraq with the U.S. Army. She was given an eight to twelve-month life expectancy with only a 15% chance of surviving. Brandi defied the low survival odds, made a full recovery and has been in remission since 2009. Brandi has devoted her life to advocating for cancer patients and survivors, as well as veterans facing similar diagnoses. She uses her platform to encourage others not to give up on themselves by sharing her remarkable story of hope, resiliency, the art of rebelling against those who do not believe in miracles.
Brandi has made it her mission to raise awareness about rare illnesses and the importance of physical and mental recovery. She provides her personal blueprint of strategies and tasks that survivors, their loved ones, or anyone struggling with an “enemy” in any form can use to take charge of their healing and wellness.
She plays an active role in advocacy, serving as a pre-reviewer for the Department of Defense (DOD) to represent the consumer perspective in grant and clinical trial reviews. Her insights and perspective from the patient and survivor community are highly valuable, as consumer reviewers are integral in evaluating and selecting research that address critical issues in cancer research. Additionally, she contributes as a mentor for The Young Adult Peer Mentorship Program (AYA) at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and servers on the Board of Directors of the Sarcoma Alliance.
Brandi is the author of the book, "The Enemy Inside Me," an Iraqi War Veteran (Operation Enduring Freedom), an award recipient from the Sarcoma Foundation of America, and best known for her signature talk "There Are Miracles Every Day, Why Can't You Be One?"
During Brandi's engagements, she emphasizes the importance of a strong support system, the beauty of vulnerability, how to integrate back into the workplace after an illness and changing the survivorship narrative.
