I am honored to announce my candidate nomination for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) 2023 Portland Student Visionaries of the Year campaign. Student Visionaries of the Year is a seven-week leadership development program that runs from January 26th to March 19th to raise money and help support the LLS mission to Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, while improving the quality of life of patients and their families.   

​​​​

I am excited to announce that I have accepted my candidacy and will work alongside my girlfriend, Izzy Pope, as co-candidates and I am writing today to ask for your support of our campaign.

Izzy and I have created a team of committed friends to partner with us on this journey. Together, we have set a fundraising goal of $30,000, and have chosen advocacy as the LLS mission pillar to represent throughout our campaign.  

Money raised helps LLS, the largest nonprofit dedicated to creating a world without blood cancers, advance initiatives like enacting policies that address the serious burdens of these diseases. Through their Office of Public Policy and network of over 35,000 volunteers nationwide, LLS advocates in Washington for laws and policies that accelerate the development of new treatments for cancer and break down the barriers to care that patients often encounter, including advancing oral parity laws, ending surprise medical bills, and limiting patients’ out-of-pocket drug costs. 

All of us have faced cancer in one form or another. Last year, I signed up to save lives to raise money toward cancer in memory of Melissa Gray; a woman who left her impact on so many throughout our community. Once again, my involvement will be dedicated to Melissa in hope to eventually bring an end to all cancers. My campaign will provide support to the critical work of LLS in hopes that one day no one will have to grow up without the ones they love. I know that with your help, I can reach my goal and make a direct impact in the fight against blood cancers.  

 

I thank you in advance for partnering with a campaign so close to my heart, and please remember, every bit counts. 

 

I appreciate your support,
Theodore Jones
