Sonia's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser
I am so proud to be a part of team Panthers Against Cancer this year in the Leukemia & Lymphoma (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, working to raise as much money as possible for LLS's mission; to cure cancer and improve the quality of life for current cancer patients and their families.
I am dedicating my time to LLS for the very first time this year in honor of a family member: Rukhsana Asghar (née. Malik), who we lost to an aggressive form of cancer. She left behind three children: Huzaifa, Sharmeen, and Ummulbanin, and will forever be loved and missed, especially by her sister, Rumana. Her long journey with breast cancer, and her subsequent passing, affected so many people so deeply, and my participation in this campaign is in honor of her beautiful life. My goal this year is to raise $10,000 in donations, and I am sincerely grateful for all kinds of support; donating, sharing this page, and spreading my mission. Thanks to you, my efforts will contribute to making sure that this is the last generation to see cancer.
Here's a bit more about the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society:
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 to my campaign. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!
On behalf of cancer patients everywhere, thank you!

As a cancer survivor I am very inspired by Sonia's task of raising money for cancer. I am dedicating this in loving memory of my aunt Sofia who passed away from breast cancer in July 2022.
