Inspiration comes in many forms while traveling, and perhaps most impactfully from the people we meet along the way. Enter Paige McLaughlin. While documenting her journey with lymphoma on TikTok, she asked for suggestions for where she should take a solo trip to clear her mind. Inspired by her courage, the Hilton social team offered complimentary stays so she could book her getaway when it best suited her. A year later, McLaughlin reached out with good news — she was invited to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Visionary of the Year Gala in Washington, D.C. where she would be celebrating remission from her lymphoma. To mark the special occasion, the social team booked her and her boyfriend a complimentary stay at Canopy by Hilton Washington DC The Wharf, and left a heartwarming note, which McLaughlin read to her followers and expressed her gratitude for the unwavering support through her journey.
