My "Why" Statement
For patients struggling with leukemia, every day is a battle but, through perseverance those suffering from leukemia can find a path to a better future, a future where there's a cure for these types of cancers. I felt that perseverance represented my mission to inspire my peers to persevere through their own struggles while helping others through theirs. I want to inspire others to do all they can to make a difference
Mccalister's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser
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!

My uncle Jacky was unfortunately diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and passed away 4 years ago. He had the same thing in his early 20s, but the doctors were able to put it in remission for a short period of time until he had it again. He was a great guy and he should've had more time to live. But I'm happy that I can try to help people who still have time to live life.
