Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC

Rachel Cynkin | Team Barons Crush Blood Cancer

Rachel's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser

Jan 25, 2023

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

I am so excited to be representing Bethesda Chevy Chase High School as a team member in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) 2023 Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign. From January 21st through March 11th, students across the DMV will be competing to see who can raise the most funds and awareness for LLS's mission to cure blood cancers.

I decided to dedicate my time to LLS and SVOY in memory of my grandmother, who suffered from Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and so many others who have endured cancer. I want to play my part in eradicating this disease, but I can't do it alone.

With your help, we can advance LLS's mission - to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS funds lifesaving blood cancer research around the world, provides free information and support services, and is the voice for all blood cancer patients seeking access to quality, affordable, coordinated 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!​​​​​​​

- Rachel Cynkin
