Hello! We are Team Padua! Our team is made up of nearly 30 high school students from Padua Franciscan high school and we are united under one goal- to work towards the cure of cancer.

Our candidate leaders are Ryley Avon and Emily Han Truong, both with compelling stories for why they lead this fight. 
 

- Ryley is a blood cancer survivor herself. She's worked with the leukemia and lymphoma society throughout her life so far and has now continued that involvement through Padua!

- Emily is an aspiring, pediatric oncologist, coleading this team to help serve the people that she intends to dedicate her life work to.

Within our team members, we all have stories as to why we unite for this fight. Help join us to achieve our $30,000 goal within these seven weeks.

Thank you and remember- beating cancer is in our blood!🐻🩸❤️

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!
