Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC
Ellie Mikula | Falcons 4 Change
Ellie's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser
Hi! My name is Ellie Mikula and I am a junior at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School. I'm so excited to be participating in the Leukemia and Lymphoma's Society Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign. I joined Good Counsel's team, Falcons 4 Change, because I want to do my part in the search for a cure, and lower treatment costs for those battling blood cancers. I, like many others, have had cancer affect those I love. In particular, my friend and classmate, Madison Smith, passed away from colorectal cancer this past fall. I want to honor her, as well as Laura Caldarera, my family friend who passed away from ovarian cancer in 2022. Finally, I want to honor my mom, Megan Mikula, who is a survivor of Lymphoma and Breast Cancer. Please help me in raising money for this very important cause! Together, we can make a difference.

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!

Good job Ellie! As a lymphoma patient myself, it means a lot to me. I was able to go through all my treatments and tests because I had a strong support system and friends like your sweet mom. Praying for your successful endeavors and love you❤️
