Hi! Our names are Abbie and Morgan Notgrass and we are both students at Vista Ridge High School. Together, we are campaigning for Student Visionaries of the Year for the Leukemia-Lymphoma Society. The mission of LLS is to find a cure and improve the quality of life for patients and families fighting blood born cancers including leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. Leukemia is the #1 cancer diagnosis among children and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in children. Unfortunately, all of us have a story of how cancer has become a reality for someone we know or touched a life of someone we love. We have brought together a team of passionate students from high schools all over Williamson County to come together with a common goal… to bring CHANGE in the fight against cancer. As a team, we are working to raise financial support and awareness, so that LLS can continue to fund research and support those effected by cancer. We need your help!! Please help us reach our team’s goal of raising $65,000 to support the Leukemia-Lymphoma Society. It’s a big goal, but with your help we we can make it a reality. Please donate, so that TOGETHER we can be a generation that brings an end to cancer once and for all!

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!
