Nimrah's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Dec 22, 2022

My big sister, Mehreen Khan,  was 20 when she was diagnosed with Leukemia and spent 6 months fighting for her life. She fought bravely with a smile, singing along to Disney music, dreaming of becoming the next biggest pop star, and lifting up those around her. Unfortunately, she lost her life in 2014. But with research funded by LLS and your donations, we could make this traumatic reality a distant memory for everyone. Mehreen inspired me to end cancer once and for all, but I can’t do it without your help. 

Visionaries look to the future—and see infinite possibility.
They challenge the status quo—and make the impossible possible.
They boldly imagine a better world – and  lead the charge to create it.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on that same vision - of a better world - one without blood cancers. 

 

I am a visionary; I have a vision for a world without cancer, but I need your help. 

 

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.

 

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

 

  Please consider joining this fight by making a donation. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. Also,

  please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!

 

  Thanks to your support, my efforts will help ensure this generation is the last to see cancer.

  On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!

    In rememberece of Mehreen and recognition of her valiant fight during her treatment. Her case and unexpected death due to lung damage caused by full body radiation became a case study and paved way for future research and saving of lives. Mehreen, your sufferings, and our pain for you will not go in vain.
