Dear Friends and Family, 

I’ve had the privilege of being nominated as a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) South Bay Student Visionaries of the Year campaign. Student Visionaries of the Year is a seven-week leadership development program that runs from February 1st to March 22nd, 2024 to raise money and help support the LLS mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.   

I have created a team of committed friends and family to partner with me on this journey. Together, we have set a fundraising goal of $20,000, and have chosen patient education & support as the LLS mission pillar to represent throughout our campaign.  

Money raised helps LLS, the largest nonprofit dedicated to creating a world without blood cancers, advance initiatives like providing crucial support for blood cancer patients and their families. LLS is the leading source of free information, education, and support for blood cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, families, and healthcare professionals, including one-on-one support, financial assistance, clinical trial placements, and more.  

My reason for participating in Student Visionaries of the Year is because of the presence of cancer in my family, and my aspirations to make a difference in the lives of other people who have the presence of cancer in their families. It is very important for me to make a difference in people's lives, as my grandmother Gloria passed away because of blood cancer, and other close family members of mine have had complications of cancer as well. By joining The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I feel that I am able to make changes on a level that can help my entire community, and go above and beyond in aiding others suffering from cancer. My campaign will provide support to the critical work of LLS in hopes that one day no one will have to grow up without the ones they love. I know that with your help, I can reach my goal and make a direct impact in the fight against blood cancers.  

I thank you in advance for partnering with a campaign so close to my heart, and please remember, every bit counts. All donations are tax deductible. 

I appreciate your support!

For a cure, 
Grant Lang
