I am thrilled to be part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) campaign and to contribute to raising awareness and funds for such a vital cause. This opportunity allows me to play an active role in the fight against leukemia and lymphoma, supporting groundbreaking research, patient care, and advocacy. Knowing that my efforts can make a real difference in the lives of those impacted by blood cancers fills me with motivation and purpose. I am eager to rally support, spread awareness, and work together with others to bring hope and healing to those who need it most.

My name is Josephine Fahrenbacher-Martin and I am a junior at McCallum High School in Austin, Texas. I am so proud to say that I am a campaign leader for 2024-25 Student Visonaries of the Year. With the help of my friends and family I am so excited to come together for team United for a Cure. I chose the name United for a Cure because it represents the strength that comes from working together toward a shared purpose. Understanding that teamwork is at the core of accomplishing any big goal. The name reminds me that no matter how different we are, we can join forces and contribute in unique ways to something bigger than ourselves. It shows that by uniting our efforts, energy, and ideas, we can truly make a difference and bring hope to those who need it most.

I’m really excited to join the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society because it gives me the chance to make a real impact in the fight against blood cancer. Being part of a cause that helps save lives and supports families is incredibly meaningful to me. I’m looking forward to working with others who share the same passion for making a difference. This opportunity allows me to grow as a person while contributing to something truly important.
