Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC
Noa Wortman | Team Barons Crush Blood Cancer
Noa's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser
Today more than a million Americans are fighting a daily battle with blood cancers and every minute 4 more people unwillingly joins the fight. I have been given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the battle and help those living with blood cancers. Nine years ago, our grandma Carol was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Scientific advancements have helped so many people battle cancer, including our grandma giving her nine more beautiful years of life. Our grandma conquered her first battle against cancer, where she spent many more years socializing with her friends, caring and loving her family, and being the best grandma to my cousins and I.
Recently, our grandma lost her 3rd battle due to the intense attack of three different types of cancer: Lymphoma, Leukemia, and Multiple Meloma. Due to this immense loss, I am even more passionate in raising money for LLS in memory of my grandma, who I love and miss dearly! Help us donate to continue to raise awareness and help someone’s loved one, like my grandma, fight cancer!
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and support us and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
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!
