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.

When I was younger, I was extremely close to my Aunt Helen. She was a wonderful woman who dedicated her life to fighting cancer before she unfortunately succumbed to it herself. When asked to be a part of LLS, I immediate thought of her and how I could carry on her legacy through this wonderful organization. 

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.

Everyone has either lost or knows someone that has lost a close friend or family member to cance. For me, it was Aunt Helen, but for many others, it's children, parents, or siblings. The world is a scary place, and LLS gives all of us a chance to make a little difference which together makes a big difference. Each donation is like a ray of sunlight peaking through the clouds on an overcast day, but it's going to take all of us for the clouds to break and the sun to shine bright again. 

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!
