Hello and thank you so much for visiting my page! I'm currently a sophmore at Palos Verdes High School.

Three months ago, my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer. He has spent so many hours in the hospital fighting against this terrible disease that no one is immune to. He is one of the kindest souls I know and he deserves none of the suffering he has gone through. Now, with the help of LLS, I finally have a chance to make an impact so no one else has to suffer as much as he did.

I had the privilege of being nominated as a candidate, alongside Lisa Chen and Jacob Ma, for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Greater Los Angeles 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 have created a team of committed friends and family to partner with me on this journey. Together, we have set a fundraising goal of $100,000, and have chosen research as the LLS mission pillar to represent throughout our campaign. 

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. 

This year, I’m proud to be a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, working to raise as much as possible for LLS’s mission.

Money raised helps LLS, the largest nonprofit dedicated to creating a world without blood cancers, advance initiatives like funding cutting-edge research and treatments.​​​​​​​ As a global leader in the fight against blood cancer, LLS:

• Funds cutting-edge research leading to breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine that are improving and saving the lives of patients
• Provides free education and support for blood cancer patients and families, including personalized, one-on-one support, assistance with identifying and enrolling in clinical trials, and more.
• Mobilizes thousands of advocates to drive policy changes that accelerate the development of new cancer treatments and break down barriers to care.

LLS has invested more than $1.5 billion in cancer research since 1949, leading to breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics, and personalized medicine that are improving and saving patients’ lives. Their research has led to the development of over 70% of FDA approved treatments
