LINDA S. BERK, MOUNT LAUREL, NEW JERSEY

Diagnosed with VHL in 2003, Linda is now volunteering her time to various institutions. She is an Activities Leader with Caring Canines, a Club with The Seeing Eye, a Room Mom and your basic chauffeur for her two children, one of whom also has VHL. Previously, she worked for a Philadelphia law firm as a Paralegal. She has over 20 years of legal experience.

“Being on the Board will enable me to ensure that diagnosis is done early and treatment/monitoring are received in a quick fashion, especially for kids. I also hope that with my background I can bring VHL to light. With my legal experience, I hope that I can streamline grants and paperwork to get things done faster with government and local agencies. I also hope to lend an ear to those who need an impartial listener.”
