Izzy's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 19, 2023

Hi everyone!

 

My name is Izzy Afnan (daughter of Brian Afnan & June Im). Whether you live in my neighborhood, are a family friend, work with my parents, and everyone in between – welcome to my fundraising page! I am excited to be back raising money for LLS this year as a candiate for my team, Close Cares. For those of you who recieved my emails last year, I thank you in advance for any donations that you give to support my fundraising efforts my second time around. For those who haven't recieved a fundraising email from me in the past, I thank you for your time and consideration. More information is below about the missions of LLS! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

 

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!
