Henry's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 19, 2024

Thank you for clicking on my link. I'm very grateful that you have decided to help me reach my goal of raising $25,000. 

As I mentioned in my letter I am fundraising in honor of my uncle, Steve, who I have watched beat Leukemia over the past four years. Without the amazing research and technology that LLS funds, he may not have had such a successful stem-cell transplant. Many of my family members and friends' parents have passed due to various types of cancers, but LLS gives me hope for the future. 

This is a photo of Steve holding me as a baby: 

A positive in this experience is that Steve moved from Singapore to a mile away for his treatment at UCSF and now I get to spend lots of time with him including every Christmas.

It’s an honor to be a part of such an outstanding group of fellow students, but an even larger honor to be able to work for the patients, survivors, and their families with LLS.

Thank you for your generosity and support. Your donation truly makes a difference and with your help, we’re one step closer to a cure for blood cancers.
