Student Visionaries of the Year Atlanta

Mia's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 04, 2024

 

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. My name is Mia Perkins and my reason for participating in this program is that I want to be a part of something that could make a difference. I want my voice to be heard in a new way, and I truly want to find a way to help this cause. Growing up my parents have always volunteered with the community and believed every penny counts. They showed me that the little things can make a difference. I decided what better organization to give some of my time and effort to than the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Throughout this program I'm hoping to better my public speaking skills, improve upon organization skills, and learn about the impact cancer has on my life. Cancer research is so important, and I am honored to raise money for this cause. 

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!
