Hi! I'm Maya Shweiki, a team member of Team Closer to a Cure, participating in the 2024 Student Visionaries of the Year campaign! Over the next 7 weeks I will be fundraising in support of Leukemia and Lymphoma (LLS). LLS works to find a cure for Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and Myeloma, helping to improve the quality of life for patients and their families.I am fundraising in honor of my grandfather who in 2021 died from Multiple Myeloma an aggressive form of blood cancer. Seeing the effects his passing had on my family motivated me to raise funds and advocate for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I truly believe that I can make a difference by raising funds to help find better and more affective cures and treatments for cancer. Please join me in this fight... every penny counts. Thank you for your support. 
 

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!
