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.

My Story: This vision is deeply personal to me. Not long ago, my maternal grandfather, a man of great wisdom and kindness, was admitted to the hospital after contracting COVID-19. He was a fighter, always had been, but this time was different. Shortly after his admission, we received the devastating news that he also had leukemia. Since he knew the true depth and seriousness of this situation, he purposely hid this information from us so we do not worry.

The hospital he was in, like many others, was overwhelmed and under-resourced. The conditions were poor, and the supplies were limited. Despite the best efforts of the dedicated medical staff, there simply weren’t enough resources to save him. My grandfather passed away, a victim of not just disease but of the inequities in our healthcare system.

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.

All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible.

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!
