My passion of helping the Leukemia Lymphoma society comes from many places. Going into my freshman year of high school I was diagnosed with a life threatning brain tumor. Although I have not been through cancer specifically Leukemia I know the feeling of hearing news that will change your life forever. I have experienced how in an instant everything moves so fast, going to many doctor appointments, traveling to visit hospitals for the best treatment, getting test after test, being home bound, and worst of all the fear of dying. Watching how it affected my family was also very hard. Now I live with fear every time I get a headache. Being a kid and living a normal life to receiving the worst possible news and having everything change is something that will never get easier for anyone. Beside myself I have watched many close family members battle cancer. Although I cant make receiving the news of having cancer better for anyone I can help by giving support and raising money to help find cures and treatments. Help me help others not live in fear. 

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.
