Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC

Katie Moore | S.W.A.T. 7.0

Why Statement

Feb 01, 2024

Hi Everyone,

My name is Katie Moore, and this is my second year participating in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's (LLS) fundraising efforts to make a meaningful impact in the fight against cancer. During the 2022-2023 school year, I was a part of Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart's SCG, working with LLS called "Gators Beat Blood Cancer". This is my first year on a team S.W.A.T.0.7 through Georgetown Visitation.

This cause holds a personal significance for me as my grandfather, William Moore, lost his life due to cancer. William was. Navy Pilot in WWII and a father of three, he was an amazing man. He passed away too young due to the lack of treatments. His battle with cancer inspired me to do the most possible to contribute to the LLS mission, which focuses on research, patient support, and advocacy. By engaging in fundraising activities, I aim to honor his memory and contribute to all those affected by cancer. 

Thank you for all your support! Every dollar raised is a step closer to a world free of this devastating illness.

 

Katie's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser

Nov 27, 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 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!
