Lara Howard | Team Fight For The Future

Lara's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 12, 2023

Hi everyone!

I’m honored to announce that I will be leading “Team Fight for the Future” as a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, working to raise money for LLS’s mission. 

I have LLS to thank for a lifetime’s worth of love, laughter, and cherished moments I get the privilege of looking forward to with my mother, Bike Howard. The bottom line is, my Mom survived her fight against Hodgkin’s Lymphoma because of the life-saving treatment funded by LLS in the decades before she was diagnosed. 

Everyone deserves to survive and thrive as my mom is, and everyone deserves a future with their loved ones to look forward to. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society envisions a future where each person gets the chance they deserve.

 

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. 

 

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!
