I'm a Toronto student close to winning a $250k scholarship, but I need your help!

Hi guys! I'm an 18 yr old from Toronto who just made the global semifinals for the Breakthrough Junior Challenge for my video on a new type of Cancer Therapy. If I win, I'll receive a $250,000 USD scholarship that would absolutely change my life.

As a semifinalist, I get to participate in the popular vote, meaning that if I get the most combined likes on YouTube and Facebook, I'll become the “popular vote winner” and get skipped from the semifinals all the way to the final round of judging, which would hugely increase my chances of winning the scholarship.

On top of the $250k scholarship, if I win, my school will receive an $100k science lab and my science teacher will receive $50k.

If you'd like to help me out by liking my video on YouTube and Facebook (each like counts as one vote, so voting on both counts as two votes), I'd be eternally grateful! There's only been one Canadian winner in the entire decade the competition has existed, so it would be great to see Canada get some more recognition on the international stage 🇨🇦.

Here's the links to vote:

Thanks once again 🙏 Hope this doesn't come across as too promotional.
