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.

I have a very personal connection to this mission. My grandfather and aunt struggled with Leukemia and Lymphoma over the past three years. They were lucky enough to fight through it and are both in remission. Seeing people experience cancer firsthand made me realize what it does to a person and their family. Even though only one member may be diagnosed with cancer, it still affects everyone they know and love. There were more than just the 186,400 people diagnosed with Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Myeloma affected by cancer. I am fighting cancer, so no family should have to go through such a hard time. LLS is the leading organization in fighting these cancers and that is why I chose to fight with them this year.

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!
