She also finds her happy place when cooking, drinking wine, and spending time with her friends and family.Throughout her diagnosis, Saila has been supported by her mother, Arja, father, Markku, and younger brother, Jesse.Saila originally chose to be treated at Dana-Farber because she likes that its sole mission is cancer research and treatment. She was also driven to Dana-Farber because of Dr. Pasi Janne and his research in the field. Saila started a foundation, JAKSAA, to raise awareness and support fundraising for Dr. Janne’s research efforts. Over the last year, Saila has raised about $100,000 for the organization.Dr.
