Visionaries look to the future—and see infinite possibilities.

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 money as possible for LLS’s mission.

My friends, Caroline and Reese and I decided to form a team. LLS has been an important part of my family since before I was born. My grandpa (Pops) helped raise money for the LLS gala for many years (they even made a t-shirt with his face on it). We have had friends and classmates who have been diagnosed with blood cancers and have watched them go through treatment so they could get better. It was not easy and we know that the work that LLS does helped them!

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.

I hope that you will consider joining me in this fight by making a donation. Any amount is 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!

♡, Abbey
