Student Visionaries of the Year Maryland
Sierra Sewchand | Team Ban Blood Cancer
Sierra's Student Visionaries of the Year Maryland 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.
Hello! My name is Sierra Sewchand and I am a senior at Mt. Hebron High School. I decided to join LLS's fight to end cancer because multiple people in my family have been affected by cancer. Although I do not have a personal experience with Leukemia and Lymphoma, cancer is cancer, and I want to do anything I can to end it!
Last year, I participated in this campaign last year and managed to raise over $6,000 with the help of friends, family, and local businesses including NewWave, Kelsey's Irish Pub, and White Oak Tavern. I'm so excited for this year's campaign!
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!
