Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC

Alina's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser

Jan 30, 2024

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.

 

I decided to join Team Panthers Against Cancer because, in 2019, my mom was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a cancer that attacks the bone or soft tissue. The summer that she went through chemotherapy impacted my family and me greatly and made me passionate about cancer research seeing as her cancer is very rare. Gratefully, with treatment and amazing doctors, my mom was officially cancer-free by the end of the summer. Joining Student Visionaries of the Year inspired me to join something so impactful, especially after seeing first-hand the effects of cancer. My mom inspired me by showing her strength and through treatment and continues to be an inspiration to me. 

 

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!
