Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC

Emily's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 21, 2023

​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 have a vision for a world without cancer, but I need your help.​​​​​​​​​​​​​!

 

​​​​​​​My name is Emily Brennnan, and I am a co-candidate of Team No Bad Blood! I am a junior at Alexandria City High School, and I live in Alexandria, VA with my parents Chris and Dave. My sister Sarah is a first-year at the University of Virginia, and she has helped inspire me in my drive to make the world a better place.

I am incredibly honored to be participating in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign! I am working to raise as much money as possible for LLS' mission, and any donation will make a huge difference in the lives of cancer patients.

 

Ask anyone, and they'll be able to tell you about at least one way cancer has impacted their life. Personally, I joined this campaign to honor my cousin Sophia, who passed away a little over a year ago after a long battle with Leukemia. Sophia worked closely with her LLS chapter, and this year, I hope to honor her by bringing even more attention to blood cancers.

 

Did you know that Leukemia is now the most common form of childhood cancer? So many lives are devastated by a cancer diagnosis, but with your help, LLS is working to change this.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 

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! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org.
