My name is Bella Roberts and I am a senior at Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School. 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. 

I have chosen to become involved with this campaign in honor of my uncle, who is currently in remission for non-Hodgkins lymphoma. His determination and hope have inspired me to do what I can to help fight for better research, treatment, and patient support. Through this campaign, I hope to make a positive impact on those around me, just as my uncle has done for me. 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.  

"Bella Roberts is a powerhouse. She has witnessed the impact of cancer on her family and friends, motivating her to take action. Bella's extensive involvement in school activities underscores her commitment to leadership and service. Bella's journey is deeply personal. A childhood friend, diagnosed with Stage 4 non-Hodgkins lymphoma, fought a courageous battle and won. Additionally, her uncle and godfather, currently in remission for blood cancer, further fuel her determination to make a difference." - LLS Kansas
