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.

 

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 am participating in this campaign in honor of my dad. In August of 2019 he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). He received two rounds of chemo, but neither one worked. He went on to receive a treatment called Blinatumomab. LLS is critical in funding the research for new therapeutics, such as Blinatumomab. He was in remission by November of 2019 which allowed him to get a stem cell transplant in December of 2019. All tests have come back negative since! My family and I are extremely thankful for LLS and all of our friends and family who supported us throughout that journey. This campaign provides support to patients and their families who have to go through the same thing as my family. 

 

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!
