As a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) 2025 Westchester - Fairfield Student Visionaries of the Year campaign, I am thrilled to be a part of a seven-week leadership development program that runs from January 24th, 2025, to March 14th, 2025. In this campaign, we raise money to support LLS’s mission to find a cure for blood cancers and improve the quality of life for patients

When I was younger, my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, and eventually passed away. In 2019, my uncle was diagnosed with myelofibrosis, a form of blood cancer, and sadly passed away as well. This left my entire family devastated. Last year, my mother was diagnosed with a low stage form of breast cancer. Thankfully though, she managed to fight it off. However after all the cancer that had been in my family, I decided I wanted to do something about it, and in some way help put an end to cancer. This is when I discovered the LLS program. I decided that I wanted to be a candidate and fight cancer through raising money and spreading awareness. I know that with your help, I can reach my goal and make a direct impact in the battle against blood cancers.  

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.
