Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC
Ava Brewer | Team No Bad Blood
Ava's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser
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.
I joined this campaign last year as a team member and had so much greatly apprecaited support. This year I have moved to co-leading this team and I am super excited about the campaign this year.
My personal why for doing this is my Nana, who was diagnosed with lymphoma about a year and a half ago. While in her case it is not harming her, there are so many blood cancer patients out there who need all the support they can get. Seeing what that diagnosis can do to a family, it is my goal to do my best to raise money and awareness for this cause.
But I can't do it alone.
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, I couldn't thank you enough for spreading the word!
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!
