Grace's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser
Hello Family and Friends! Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page, it means so much to me! My name is Grace Wickham am a current Junior at Georgetown Visitation and apart of Leukimia and Lymphoma Society and the S.W.A.T. 6.0. Team to raise money for a cure to blood cancer. By donating to LLS you have the ability to help fund research for blood cancer which also helps to find a cure for many other types of cancers.
Personally, I decided to fundraiser for LLS because of my grandad, Richard Nicolosi, who fought a 5 month long battle with Lymphoma and passed away in June 2022. My grandad was a healthy, active 74 year old who had a big social life and a strong pickleball game. After seeing a doctor one day because he wasn’t feeling quite right, he was diagnosed. He endured treatment for months but it just didn’t work. I want to try in any way that I can to find a cure for blood cancer, and fundraising for LLS was the best way for me to make an impact.
My goal is to raise $5,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!

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!

My girls, Sophie and Cece, lost their grandmother to Lymphoma last year. She was also a vibrant and healthy woman in her early 70's. Let's beat this cancer so that others don't have to endure the loss that our families have gone through. Good luck Grace!
