Vineet Singal is a Stanford University student majoring in Biological Sciences. He is the founder and executive director of Anjna Patient Education, a non-profit organization that provides health education services to free clinics. Since its founding in January 2010, Anjna has received grants and awards from the Ashoka foundation, the Institute for the Future, Youth Service America, and DoSomething.org amongst others. Vineet is also the Executive Director of the non-profit organization A Hundred Thousand Cheeks, a Stanford Business School-led initiative in the U.S. to register 100,000 members of South Asian descent on the national bone marrow registry.

Vineet's powerful talk shows us why personal struggles are necessary for success.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxTampaBay, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxTampaBay event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
