24/7 Dance Studio in Frederick, MD has supported my campaign from the very beginning. Ms. Gina (studio owner) was my very first in-person sponsorship meeting of the campaign and has not only sponsored my initiative but also allowed us to fundraise at our Company Concert on February 10th and spread awareness through the studios newsletters. Thank you 24/7 Dance Studio!!

Ms. Deb D'Attilio and her team at Enterprise Mobility, who have been apart of LLS for years as both of her kids participated in SVOY campaigns, is now sponsoring my campaign and we couldn't be more grateful. I can't wait to see her at the Grand Finale, thank you Ms. D'Attilio and Enterprise Mobility!!

Mr. Martin and Crown Trophy, who has been working with LLS for many years, is now sponsoring my campaign by providing the awards and signage so that candidates and team members get to go home with tokens of their participation in this years campaign. Thank you Crown Trophy, the Grand Finale would not be complete without you!!

Dr. Saini Orthodontics, which has offices in Clarksburg and Frederick MD, has been my othodontist since 4th grade and is now sponsoring my campaign. He is someone who always helps the community as he supports many of Clarksburg's events/schools and somehow always remembers little details about his patient's lives. Thank you Dr. Saini and your incredibly helpful staff!!

Mr. Dave Bowers and his team at Frederick Land & Home have been friends with my dad since elementary school and now is sponsoring my campaign. After a shaky presentation on my behalf he gave me great feedback on how to present in front of and communicate with other business leaders. Thank you Mr. Dave and his team at Frederick Land & Home.

About Me:

I am a sophomore at Clarksburg High School and I am a member of the poms and track team. I dance competitivley, year-round at 24/7 Dance Studio in Frederick, MD. This is my second time participating in the SVOY campaign; the first time was in 7th grade when I was a team member on my cousins team, Team Bridge to a Cure. I am so honored to be leading Team Closer to a Cure in the 2024 campaign!

I decided to dedicate my time to LLS and SVOY because I’m fighting for the 1.2 million people that are currently suffering from blood cancer. Since the last time I was a team member, 3 years ago, I have seen the money we raised then be put into effect. It has funded new and improved treatments like the CAR T-cell Immunotherapy treatment that is now being tested in more than 500 clinical trials enhancing many cancer patients' lives. This has inspired me to take the medical program offered at Clarksburg High School and hopefully lead me to working on groundbreaking research for a cure. Additionally, blood cancer is still the leading cancer in children and teens so there is much work to be done.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on the 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 (again!), 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!
