Student Visionaries of the Year St. Louis

Casey's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

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.

My family has been impacted by blood cancer. My grandpa is a Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma survivor. My mom has been involved with LLS in different capacities for 20 years. I first got involved when I got the opportunity to meet Dr. Ley around Febuary of 2023. He is a researcher who has been very involved in developing blood cancer treatment. He brought to my attention that while some patients have found successful treatments, they do not always work for everyone. He said to me that it is difficult for him to say he found a "cure" for cancer (CRISPR-CAS9) because many people are still fighting their battles, and some cannot recieve effective treatment.

I want to be able to support new research towards developing treatments for patients.

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!
