Wade's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 20, 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. I joined "Team Henry'' in honor of my neighbor Henry Burneson who passed away due to Leukemia in 2015 when he was just 17 years old. This campaign means a lot to everyone who has lost a loved one to blood cancer and those struggling to fight it. For this reason I'm so proud to lead my campaign team to hopefully make a difference in the lives of others and give more cancer patients a chance to fight. In the 2023 campaign, my team is raising money in honor of patient advocacy which will help push for fairer priced treatments and less financially draining medical care. Your contribution will mean the world to those impacted by this disease so please feel free to share my campaing with all of your friends and family.

 

As a global leader in the fight against blood cancer, LLS:

  • Funds cutting-edge research leading to breakth​​​​​​​roughs 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.

 

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!
