Blonde Against the Odds
Request Caroline's Help
Hi! I’m so happy you’re here—and I’m here to help you get the answers you deserve.
Not long ago, someone close to me was misdiagnosed with late-stage Alzheimer’s Disease. Her neurosurgeon said she was “too far gone”—but I knew he was wrong. I trusted my gut, dove deep into research, and challenged his decision with clinical evidence.
That fight led to a brain surgery that saved her life—and it changed mine, too.
Since then, I’ve been encouraged by many to use my skills to help others—especially those who don’t have access to the same resources I did. I may not hold a medical degree, but I bring something just as powerful: a background in clinical research, sharp instincts, and an obsessive drive to uncover the truth behind complex or overlooked conditions—especially when critical details are missed.
If you or someone you love feels dismissed, stuck, or scared, I want to help. When you fill out the "Request Caroline's Help" form, I’ll read your story, research your situation with care, and send you A Research-Backed Guide: a personalized document with helpful studies, resources, and a next-step plan I’d follow if it were my own family.
This is 100% free as my only goal is to help others in ways I wish were available to my family. You can also use the Community Chat to reach out to others, share your stories, ask questions, and get answers. I truly believe that with the right information and determination, anyone can change the course of their health—or help save someone they love.
If you’d like to support the research I’m doing and the mission I’m building—to make advocacy bold, informed, and accessible—your donation helps me continue offering this work freely to the families who need it most.
Let’s figure this out together 💕

About the Creator
Meet the Blogger: Caroline Boynton
Hi, I’m Caroline—and I’ve been passionate about health, healing, and helping others for as long as I can remember.
Since I was young, I’ve volunteered in hospitals, especially on the oncology floor, where I’d spend time talking to patients and hearing their stories. That experience opened my heart to how much strength and wisdom lives in those going through the hardest moments of their lives. It also shaped the way I care, listen, and advocate today.
I’m deeply fascinated by neuroscience and how the brain works, as well as how cancer forms—and what we can do to prevent it. I spend my free time learning about the chemicals in our food, cooking healthy meals, and exploring what it truly means to live a vibrant, well life. I believe knowledge is power, and that health is about far more than prescriptions—it’s about education, awareness, and action.
I recently graduated from Providence College, and for nearly 10 years, I worked summers at the iconic Black Pearl restaurant in Newport, Rhode Island. Newport still holds my heart—between the coastal calm, the boat days, and the community, it’s my home away from home. But now, I’ve landed in New York City, ready to take everything I’ve learned and pour it into something bigger.
I’m now building a career I’m deeply passionate about—working at the intersection of neuroscience and oncology research, with a mission to help bring life-saving therapies to patients faster, without ever compromising on quality. I feel incredibly grateful for the team I get to work with and the meaningful mission we pursue together every day.
Recently, after navigating a terrifying misdiagnosis with my grandma, something shifted in me. I fought to prove the doctors wrong, and that fight saved her life. After that, friends, colleagues, and even complete strangers told me I had something rare—a mix of intuition, research skills, and relentless determination. They told me I should be helping more families. So here I am.
I don’t have a medical degree—but I have something just as powerful: real experience, strong instincts, and the kind of obsessive research brain that doesn’t stop until it finds answers. I created Blonde Against the Odds to be a resource hub for anyone who finds themselves in my shoes. Because when it’s your loved one, and you’re scared and overwhelmed—you deserve more than vague answers and shrugged shoulders. You deserve tools. You deserve support. You deserve to know what questions to ask and where to turn next.
Whether through my blog posts, my downloadable resources, the Community Chat, or my personalized Research-Backed Guides, my goal is simple: to empower people to advocate, challenge the system when it fails us, get the answers you deserve, and remind you that you are not alone in this fight.
Oh—and I love golden retrievers, a great latte, pink everything, and I firmly believe that heart, heels, and hustle can change the world.
Support This Mission
I started this blog because I know what it feels like to be scared, overwhelmed, and dismissed when you or someone you love is facing a health crisis. I’ve lived through misdiagnoses, medical gaslighting, and the terrifying silence that comes when doctors just don’t have the answers. But I also know how powerful it is to ask questions. To push back. To do your own research. And to never give up.
This platform was born from that place—my own experience challenging a life-threatening misdiagnosis and learning how to advocate for someone I love. Now, I use those same research skills, instincts, and relentless curiosity to help others do the same.
Everything I create is completely free. I do this in my free time, out of genuine passion for advocacy, neuroscience, oncology, and helping families find clarity when the system leaves them feeling lost. Behind everything I produce is hours of focused research, using self-funded clinical tools and databases, and a deep emotional investment in every story I take on. This is work I take seriously—and it’s work I love.
If you’d like to support the research I’m doing and the mission I’m on—to make advocacy bold, informed, and accessible—your donation helps me take this work to new heights. Your support fuels the mission. It helps me invest in advanced research platforms, dedicate more time to each case, and continue offering this work freely to the families who need it most.
I’m building a platform where advocacy is smart, human, and deeply personal.
A space where families feel empowered to question, to push back, and to ask better questions.
A space where you don’t need a medical degree to advocate like someone who has one.
A space where “there’s nothing more we can do” isn’t the end of the conversation—it’s just the beginning.
If you believe in this vision—if you’ve been helped by my work, or want to help someone else find answers—thank you. Your support truly means everything.
