My story:
In January 2023, I was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma after months of feeling unwell and facing multiple misdiagnoses. A tumor was eventually found in my stomach, leading to a challenging 7-month journey filled with intensive chemotherapy, 17 surgeries, and an ostomy. Throughout this difficult period, I shared my story on social media, building a community of over 3 million followers (across all platforms), who offered support and encouragement. Inspired by my own experience, I founded Bravery Boxes—a nonprofit providing personalized care packages for children and young adults undergoing cancer treatment. Through partnerships with over 30 brands, we offer tailored packages designed to bring comfort, joy, and hope to those facing similar battles. Today, I am grateful to be cancer-free for over 12 months and am dedicated to using my platform to make a difference for others. 

Now this is where the Student Visionaries campaign comes in.

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.

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!
