Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC
Kiley Kreter | Team Vikings Fight 4 Cures
Kiley's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser
I am proud to announce that I am fundraising for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for a second year. When I was 6 months old, my grandpa was diagnosed with Lymphoma. After he was diagnosed he wanted to support an organization that was both working hard to find a cure and helping those who were sick. He found LLS and Team in Training, grabbed his bike and started racing. He biked long races spreading the word and raising money to help others fight this terrible cancer. (He even won a bike for his fundraising efforts) It was hard to see what my grandfather went through but he also taught me to fight for the things I believe in. I think of him all the time and I feel so lucky that he was in my life. He is the reason I started this campaign. I hope to raise money to prevent other families from going through these same hardships.
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!
