Hi! I'm Leyana Minkara and I am a Sophomore at Bullis. I play lacrosse and field hockey and take part in various clubs such as The EGG (Educate Girls Globally) Club. Being involved in LLS is important to me since I want to help fight cancer and those fighting for their lives. I am so excited to be a part of Team Fight and over the next 7 weeks, my sister and I are working to raise $10,000.  Our goal as a team is to raise $100,000 and we need your help! These donations will go to blood cancer research, free education, support for patients, clinical trials/treatment and much more. Donations, spreading the word, or any way to help us meet our goal are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Best,

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!
