Phoebe's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 25, 2024

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. As many of you know, the fight against cancer is one that is very personal to me. My father, Sergi, was diagnosed with Lymphoma in 2008. His type of cancer is not curable; rather, it's treatable. Since 2008, his Lymphoma has returned a handful of time, but luckily, he's responded to each treatment. He recently started a new course of therapy as his cancer is active again. I want to help him and all the other survivors fight this cancer! 

 

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!

 

Will you support me and my efforts to help find a cure? All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible.  

Thanks to your support, my efforts will help ensure this generation is the last to see cancer. 

On behalf of my father and blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!

Xoxo, Phoebe Flaster
