Dear Friends and Family,

I have had the privilege of being nominated as a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) 2023 Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign. Student Visionaries of the Year is a seven-week leadership development program that runs from February 22nd to April 14th to raise money and advocate for LLS. I am writing today to ask for your support of my campaign and LLS’ mission to find a cure for blood cancers and improve the quality of life for patients.

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 $15,000! All the money that is raised goes directly to the largest blood cancer research program in the nation, LLS, to fund cutting-edge research and treatments. In fact, the treatments that LLS is funding benefit nonblood cancer patients too. More than 40% of new cancer treatment drugs approved by the FDA since 2004 started as blood cancer drugs are now being applied in other forms of cancer.

Blood cancers have impacted many families. However, thanks to research and access to better treatments, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have quadrupled since 1960. 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. 

There are two ways to make your tax-deductible contribution by April 14th, 2023:
• Fully tax-deductible check may be mailed to: LLS 9530 Hageman Road Suite B #541 Bakersfield, CA 93312

I appreciate your contribution to Team Blood Battlers.

Sincerely, 
Landon Lemison
