Student Visionaries of the Year Westchester-Fairfield
Katie Kmetz | Katie Kmetz Crushing Cancer
Katie's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser
In these upcoming months I will be participating in the Student Visionary of The Year campaign in honor of my uncle Michael Joseph Kmetz. On May 9, 2006 my uncle Michael, or many called him Mike died of a brain tumor. Prior to his tumor he had leukemia blood cancer and survived. He was cherished by so many and known to be a genuine and compassionate person. His life will forever be celebrated by each and every person that he knew. Our goal is spread awareness for blood cancer because it’s currently harming many people across the globe. We want to be able to aid the process of finding a cure in any way possible.
I am Signing Up to Save Lives
Katie's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser
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!
