I hope this message finds you well. My name is Palmer Holley, and I am currently a junior at the Holton-Arms School. This year, I am proud to be part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign. Our collective goal is to raise funds to support LLS's mission and to contribute to the eradication of Leukemia. Eight of my fellow Holton students have come together to form a fundraising team - Team Panthers Against Cancer. From a young age, my family instilled in me the value of helping others. Leukemia has had a direct effect on my life as I lost my great-grandmother, Virginia Pierce, when I was very young.

I want to make a difference and I hope you will join me creating a world where no one experiences the pain and suffering caused by this scourge.  Cancer, especially diseases like Leukemia, not only inflicts physical pain upon the patient but also casts a shadow over the lives of their families. Witnessing a loved one battle this illness is an experience marked by extreme emotional hardship.
