DAY OF KICKOFF – JANUARY 10, 2024!! 

Dear Colleagues, Friends and Family,              

THE DAY IS FINALLY HERE!!!!!  

Some of you may already know, and for those of you who don’t, we are very excited to share with you that my daughter Meredith-along with my 2 other daughters Bethie and Annie, my husband Dr. Hoye and I -are participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Student Visionaries of the Year program. Student Visionaries of the Year is a 7-week philanthropic competition for high school leaders seeking to make an impact in the fight against cancer. This cause is incredibly important to me because blood cancer, specifically leukemia, is the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in children and young adults and has affected our lives personally. 

My family, as you know, has had quite a history with cancer. My mom Ann P. Conti had kidney cancer, I had breast cancer several years ago and my daughter Bethie had leukemia when she was 3. She had to get a stem cell transplant and was in the hospital for 42 days straight, but she managed to survive! She is now a senior in high school, applying to college for next year.  I want to assist and support Meredith help LLS (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society) stop cancer for good in honor of Bethie and her Grandma Ann. Life will be better once cancer is stopped once and for all!  Our team name is Heroes of Hope, and as a team we want to raise at least $50,000 to fight blood cancers! I hope you will consider helping us reach this goal! 

Heroes of Hope will be raising funds between January 10th, 2024 and March 2nd, 2024. We are determined to leave our marks on the fight against cancer to the best of our abilities. We cannot achieve this goal alone, though- we need your help.
