Wyatt's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 06, 2023

Hello! I'm Wyatt Pearce and I am a co-candidate for Team Answers For Cancers in the 2023 Northern Virginia Student Visionaries of the Year campaign. I am currently a sophomore at the Potomac School. I enjoy playing tennis, reading, and hanging out with my friends. 

I joined LLS because I want to help in the battle against all cancers. My grandmother passed away from Lymphoma last June, and I am doing this campaign in memory of her.

Please join me in supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by making a donation to my Student Visionaries of the Year campaign!

Wyatt's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Nov 10, 2022

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’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 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!
