Student Visionaries of the Year Northern Virginia

Madison Ruff | Team Captains for a Cure

Student Visionaries of the Year Northern Virginia Fundraiser

Jan 22, 2023

Visionaries look to the future—

and see infinite possibility.


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 am 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. I am fundraising in memory of my Grandpa Reuben, my Great Uncle Bugs, my Great-grandfather Norman, and my Great-grandmothers Emily and Norma. I am also fundraising in honor of my Grandpa Paul, my Uncle Tony, Uncle Curly, and my Aunts Vanessa, Freeda, and Jeanette, who have all battled cancer, some of whom are still fighting this battle today. 

 

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.

The treatments developed for blood cancers help people affected by many different types of cancer. My campaign provides an opportunity to support the critical work of LLS in fighting these diseases. Please consider joining this fight by making a donation. 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 cancer patients everywhere, thank you!

 

Madi
