I am excited to announce that I am 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 21st, 2023 to April 14th, 2023 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 am running for Student Visionaries of the Year because I want to make a difference in other people’s lives. My family has been personally affected by blood cancer. My great Aunt Jean had adult onset leukemia and underwent many treatments. With the help of amazing people in healthcare and their support, my great aunt fought and beat cancer. She is healthy and recently spent the holidays with all of us ziplining through Costa Rica! Organizations like LLS do make a difference!

I have created my team, Fan’s Fighters, with committed friends and family to partner with me on this journey. Together, we have set an optimistic fundraising goal of $50,000, for patient support. LLS has provided over $5 million in patient financial assistance and support in 2021-2022 alone to help families in the Greater LA area who are affected by blood cancer. 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.  

Please join the fight and help my team beat cancer. All donations are tax deductible.
