Emily's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on the vision - of a better world - one without blood cancers. I am a student 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.
I am participating in this program because there are so many people we are connected to that suffer from various types of cancer. Unfortunately cancer can affect us all, whether that is directly or indirectly. The work that LLS does helps fund the research to find the cure for all different types of cancers, not just leukemia and lymphoma. I have seen how cancer affects patients and families, so that is why I am working to raise money for this cause in hopes that one day we will live in a world that is cancer free.
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, tax-deductible and may be matched by your company. 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 cancer patients everywhere, thank you!

Thank you, Emily, for taking on this challenge! I am honored to participate as my mom had a rare form of leukemia called myelofibrosis. She left this earth way too early and my hope is that we can find a cure so no other families lose their mom at such a young age.
