Hello Everyone! I am Evie Stamos, a Sophomore at The Bullis School! I play lacrosse and tennis at school and I am involved in many different community service activities inside and outside of school including LLS. This is my first year participating in LLS and I could not be more excited to be apart of Team Fight. Being a Student Visionary is very important to me because not only am fundraising in honor of my grandmother who passed away from blood cancer, but also for all of the others who went through a similar battle against blood cancer. I know how much having a family member or even friend with blood cancer can impact someone’s life which is why I am working alongside my teammates to accomplish our team goal of $100,000. My personal fundraising goal is $5,000. All donations will go directly towards The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I cannot do it without the help of many so please join me in helping to beat this terrible disease. As you read my personal statement please consider donating and sharing my page with others such as your family or friends!

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!
