William's Student Visionaries of the Year Northern Virginia Fundraiser

Jan 07, 2023

Hello, my name is Will Phillips.I am representing the Leukemia &Lymphoma Society. 
 

I have decided to dedicate my time to this cause in hope for a brighter future.

 

Not only is leukemia common, there are roughly 4,000 anual cases in children alone per year. These cases can be terminal for approximately 10 percent of children according to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

 

These children often live substantially different childhoods unable to enjoy the same liberties as you and I did. But what if that weren't the case. We at the lls have a vision of a world without blood cancer, a world where children can live their lives to the fullest.

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 consider showing support and furthering the fight against cancer.

 

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!

    William, I'm so very proud of you. You have worked so hard to reach your goal. I want to thank you in honor and memory of your great grandfather, my Papa, who died too soon from a blood cancer. I wish you got to know him but he is looking down and smiling.
