Student Visionaries of the Year Northern Virginia

Sofia Farboud | Team NOVA Warriors to Cure

Sofia's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Feb 28, 2024

I decided to dedicate my time to LLS and SVOY because I am very interested in the medical field and finding a cure for cancer, specifically Leukemia and Lymphoma. I am also very eager to support families and people going through this. 

Visionaries look to the future—and see infinite possibilities.
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!

    When I lived in NOVA I worked for Children’s as a PA in the Pediatric Oncology division. This is in honor of all of them. I went into the field because when I was 6, my cousin, who was my age died of AML. I have also had a nephew who is a Wilms Tumor survivor. Oncology is a huge part of my life. Thank you for your part in this amazing journey!!! 💛
