Molly Adams | Team Fightin' for a Cure

Molly Adams

Feb 12, 2025
Hi I’m Molly Adams! I and a junior at Cathedral High School where I run cross country and track. I recently lost my grandfather, John Adams, to cancer. He fought so hard and always kept a smile on his face during his battle. I want no one to have to go through that same pain. I am honoring my fundraiser to my grandfather in hopes of finding a cure that will stop this terrible disease. Thank you for your support, any and all donations are very much appreciated!
 

Molly's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Oct 03, 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.

 

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!

    Thanks Molly for doing this. Tommy was our son and actually your 2nd cousin, who,at the age of 3yrs (1969)was diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukemia. In those days the survival rate was 20% and,unfortunately. he died after a 2.5 year battle. In those days there was very little research and patient support in those days so his demise seemed inevitable .I continue to miss him and pray to and for him. God bless you for doing this!
