I am honored to say that I am a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year campaign. I am asking for your support in my efforts to help LLS in its mission to ensure access to cures and treatments for blood cancers. I am competing with several other student candidates in New Jersey and together we will each put our best fundraising foot forward in honor of all those fighting blood cancer.  

While childhood leukemia has the highest cure rate of any blood cancer, it is also still the number-one disease killer among children under the age of 20.  This statistic hits too close to home for me. On November 18, 2018, my younger brother Grayson was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He reached remission a few months later and went through 3+ long years of chemotherapy treatment. One year ago on January 24, 2022, our family celebrated Grayson’s end of treatment. Grayson is not the only person in my family to battle blood cancer. My grandfather, my grandmother and my great uncle all lost their lives to blood cancer. This needs to change! I know that as we come together and partner with LLS we will find a cure, not someday, but today!  

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!
