The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on the vision of a world without blood cancers. My goal in participating Student Visionaries of the Year is to make a difference, be part of the generation that will cure blood cancer. 

This program is really special to me because LLS has supported my aunt, Paulina van Bavel-Kearney, for over a decade since she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I want to continue their legacy of life saving help however I can. She told me both financial support and educational resources empowered her to feel more in control of her situation, and I can think of no better way to give back than to lead this team. 

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, me and my team's effort will help ensure this generation is the last to see cancer.

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!
