While living with breast cancer she never wavered and kept on her noble life’s path with her focus to be the ultimate mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and member of the Jewish community. She had a strong commitment to Israel, Jewish education and ICRF. 

Bringing together Alisa’s passion for Israel and passion for supporting cancer research was the impetus to create The Alisa Lyons ICRF Award of Valour. This research grant for the funding of ground-breaking cancer treatments will change the lives of patients living with cancer with the goal of one day contributing to the cure of the disease. Alisa was a true woman of valour who defined selflessness.
