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. 

My name is Dawn Zhu, and I am a 15-year-old student at Stanford Online High School coming to serve you in Katy, Texas. I am thrilled to be part of the LLS Student Visionaries of the Year campaign as I am deeply motivated to support the funding of innovative research within medicine and want to make a meaningful impact for people with blood cancer. This year, M&M for a Cure and I are working to raise $50,000. I have an aunt who may not have died of blood cancer, but of cancer and I understand how hard it can be to both the ones affected and their loved ones. While I may not personally know someone affected by blood cancer, I have a strong desire to make a difference and support this vital cause. I want to be able to make a change, no matter how small it may be. I believe that together, we can bring hope and change to those who need it most in this world.

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.
