Hi everyone!

My name is Andrea and I'm a freshman at National Cathedral School. Thank you for your time and visiting this page! This year, I’m proud to be a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign as part of Team Close Cares, working to raise as much as possible for LLS’s mission.

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.

​​​​​​​I remember being a part of LLS's mission first at my elementary school, which participated in LLS's Pennies for Patients program, an experience I fondly look on. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be able to reconnect and fundraise for LLS. Additionally, LLS is working to find a cure for blood cancers. In my personal life, my grandfather has an uncurable disease. It makes me feel like I'm making a difference by supporting LLS and hopefully, in the future, preventing other people from having my same experience. Your donations work toward this goal. Let's fight cancer once and for all! 

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.

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!
