I am motivated to join the Leukemia and Lympohoma Society (LLS) in the fight against blood cancer because I have a good friend from elementary school, who battled leukemia before he was even in school. His story inspired me to find a way to make a difference. Whenever I talk to someone about LLS, I start by asking about their personal connections to blood cancer. Sadly, most people have loved ones that have fought this disease. Please join my fundraising effort to find a cure for blood cancer. With your help, we can strike out blood cancer!
Below, you will find information about the mission of LLS and how the money we raise combats blood cancer by helping current patients and their families as well as working to find a cure.
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.
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!
