This is my grandpa and me when I was very little. He meant the world to me and my family and sadly he lost his fight. My grandpa passed from multiple myeloma cancer almost 8 years ago. Multiple myeloma is a form of blood cancer in the white blood cells. If your interested in learning more, the LLS website has a page on myeloma cancer.

I fight in memory of him and in support of all those who have cancer and their families. Being part of the LLS SVOY program is a way to remeber him, and raise money for something that could have saved him. I want to help find a cure to blood cancer so people don't have to get the call from the doctor.

I am very excited to kick this fundraiser off and to be a part of Team Fighting Falcons 2.0 The work we do is truly life changing, and I am honored to be a part of that! Thank you for you time and your support, it means the world to me, my family, and the families of individuals battling cancer! 

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.
