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.

I originally became involved in LLS when a dear friend of mine was diagnosed with Acute myeloid leukemia at age 25.  We were told he won an unlucky lottery.  His older sister and I watched him fight the battle against cancer, which he unfortunately lost.  This was 10 years ago.  If we would’ve fast forwarded to today, he may have had a chance at winning the battle.  With the significant investment LLS makes to research, $50-70 million annually, new treatments and therapies are evolving to increase the lifespan and recovery of individuals diagnosed with blood cancers.  Over the years, support from people like you has been responsible for the blood cancer advancements that have doubled, tripled and in some cases quadrupled the survival rate.

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!
