My Why

I became an LLS member in honor of my aunt who passed away from breast cancer two years ago. She battled cancer for twelve years and went through many rounds of chemotherapy. She was a strong woman, and an amazing aunt. 
Advancements made towards curing any type of cancer benefits the field as a whole. This is my motivation for working to raise as many funds as possible. 

​​​​​​​About Me​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​I am currently a junior at Robinson and a member of the field hockey and track teams. I have been playing sports since I was young and it is an important part of my life. I am a member of Girl Scouts, and it is my eleventh year as a participant. School is a very important aspect of my high-school career. I have taken the elective journalism since seventh grade and I am currently the Editor-in-Chief of the Robinson newspaper. I also have two older siblings at the University of Virginia, which is a college I am interested in attending. ​​​​​​​

Our 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.

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.
