I am Aleena Patel. A student, a daughter, and an LLS team member.

As a freshman, this is my first time being apart of such an impactful project.

The Leukiemia & Lymphoma Society has help fund so much

blood cancer research for many years. Knowing that my part in this 

fundraiser will help so many patients and families is very meaningful.

When I was just a baby, my grandpa was diangnosed with blood cancer

and died of it at age 65. My grandma is a cancer suvivor. I have seen

firsthand how this has affected the people I love most. As a member of LLS

I can support others who have experienced the same thing.

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. 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!
