Samarrah Fine Clayman

Samarrah Fine Clayman is a social worker and writer based in New England. She teaches yoga and meditation. According to her two children, bakes the best chocolate chip cookies.

In 2017, Samarrah’s 23-month-old son was diagnosed with an ependymoma—a brain tumor that can occur at any age, but most often in young children. The tumor can cause headaches, seizures and paralysis. The main treatment is surgery and radiation, though the tumors can often reoccur. There is no cure, but there is hope that with additional research, these tumors can have a better outcome.

After, her son’s diagnosis, Samarrah and her husband created The Ependymoma Research Foundation. You can learn more at: www.BrainTumorWarrior.org
