Hi! My name is Hannah Brooker, and I am a co-candidate 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 to support the incredible work of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and its mission to cure blood cancers.

I am fundraising in honor of my grandmother who fought and beat cancer and in remembrance of Mr. Palafox, a teacher at my high school who passed away from leukemia.

My personal goal is to raise $5,000 between January 13th and March 2nd. It’s a lofty goal, but I am willing to work hard to reach it. I cannot do it alone; I need your help! There are a few ways you can support my fundraising efforts: 

1. Donate via my personal fundraising page.

2. Share my message & fundraising link with your contacts via email or social media

3. Help me secure a corporate sponsorship (Corporate partnership opportunities start at $500 and come with recognition and marketing benefits based on the level) 

It means a lot for me to be able to fundraise for this vital cause, and in honor of my family and friends who have fought for their lives, and have unfortunately lost their battles. I hope through my fundraising we can take one step closer to finding a cure. Any donation truly makes a difference!

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 donating. 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!
