Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to visit my campaign page! My name is Ishan Desai and I am a team member  for Team Cancel Cancer. A little about me... I am 17 years old, and a current senior at Sherwood High School. I am also an intern at Austin Wealth Management through my school's internship program. Some hobbies of mine include playing the Tabla and other Indian percussion instruments and hanging out with my friends and family. 

I decided to join team Cancel Cancer through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign. This organization is one that provides a lot of research and treatment advancements and I believe they will truly maximize our donations to help those in need. 

Though I do not have a personal connection to cancer I have been motivated to join this campaign as a way to give back and pay it forward while helping those in need. We are so fortunate with everything we have and I believe that it is vital for us to help spread awareness. 

Please join me and my fight to increase research for LLS through any means possible. We not only appreciate all donations but also if you could share this with everyone you know to spread awareness and help us beat cancer one patient at a time.

Visionaries look to the future—and see infinite possibilities.
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!
