David joins MedLife as an Ambassador of Hope through the #SperantaNuMoareDeCancer (#HopeDoesntDieofCancer) campaign. This free genetic testing program provides pediatric patients recently diagnosed with cancer access to one of the most complex sequencing tests in the world for oncological diseases, analyzing mutations in 523 genes associated with multiple types of cancer. Based on the testing results, oncologists can select the most suitable treatments and therapies for each patient, depending on the tumor’s mutational profile.

As part of this campaign, David donated a gold medal he won in the 200 meters freestyle event at the 2022 FINA World Championships in Budapest to the Romanian organization MedLife. The metal from his medal will be transformed into over 100 gold ribbons which will be given to children who have beat cancer.
