Kieran's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Dec 04, 2024

In March of 2020, I lost my father to leukemia. I want to honor him by helping to find a cure for the disease that took his life. My whole life I remember him being sick and having to endure horrible treatments and long hospital stays. I remember always feeling how unfair it was for other kids to have their dads home and healthy. Remembering those terrible times makes me even more eager to try my hardest to end blood cancer so all kids can say goodnight to their parents. My campaign will provide support to the critical work of LLS in hopes that one day no one will have to grow up without the ones they love. I know that with your help, I can reach my goal and make a direct impact in the fight against blood cancers.

 

Kieran's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Sep 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!

    Dan was one of the first people I knew in college. Prior to starting Freshman year, I met him and some of his friends from Holy Trinity. He lived in the dorm next me, and was always so friendly during those early days of being away from home. He was an all-round great guy, and I’m so sorry for your loss. Keep up the fight for a cure!
