Hi my name is Caris Costigan and I am a Junior at Walt Whitman High School. I am honored to be a part of Vikes Fight 4 Cures as it is able to help millions of people that are diagnosed with cancer every year. 

LLS is an impactful organization that not only tirelessly searches for a cure to Leukemia and Lymphoma, but also supports patients living with blood cancer by providing financial support programs and fighting to make treatments affordable to all. The money raised goes towards helping people with all types of cancer and all the families affected by these diseases. LLS is important to me because I want to dedicate my time to helping loved ones that have been impacted by this scary disease.

Everyday we get closer to finding the cure and together we will put an end to blood cancer!

I am thrilled to be part of this mission.  Thank you for your support!

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!
