Gayatri's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 17, 2025

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.

Me and my Co-Candidate, Riya Goyal! 

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.

My Why: I decided to join and dedicate my time to LLS because I want to help those in need. When I was about 9 years old my grandmother got lung cancer, leading to a brain tumor, but I didn’t truly understand how big of a deal it was. And because she has now fully recovered I still didn’t understand how bad it could have gone. Now that I am older I realize how big of an impact cancer has on family and friends of the patient. I hope by joining LLS I can help these families and positively impact the LLS community

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!
