Biography
Hi, my name is Lauren Faber. I’m a sophomore studying Food Science and I’m also apart of the Association of Food Technologists. In my free time I love to bake, travel, and sing with my sisters! I love staying active whether it’s playing sports with my friends or going to the gym for a quick workout. I can’t wait to see more of the country and contribute to this cause!
Personal Statement
I joined Illini 4000 because I’ve never had the opportunity to be a part of making such a significant impact on others' lives. After my grandma passed away this summer from breast cancer, I knew I wanted to help others who have gone through the same thing. Cancer has affected more people than I can even imagine and riding for Illini 4000 is the least I can do to show my support for cancer research. I want to use my privilege and spread awareness for those who can’t.
