Nicole Hester, a junior on the Drexel basketball team, overcame her battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and was named the 2008 recipient of the V Foundation Comeback Award.

"I'm personally very thankful for the generosity of groups like The V Foundation because the research and technological development that they have funded helped me get back on the basketball court this season and is helping millions of people out there who are battling cancer right now," Hester said.
