Hi! My name is Emily Jiang and I am dedicated to making a change.

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 candidate of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, working to raise as much as possible for LLS’s mission. I became involved in fundraising for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) because I wanted to make a meaningful impact in the community after witnessing how devastating loss can be for someone. When I was in second grade, one of my close friend's sisters died because of cancer. Seeing firsthand how deeply loss can be for families inspired me to do what I can to prevent that for others. By fundraising for LLS, I hope to contribute to creating happier, healthier lives for as many people as possible and avoid the heartbreak of losing a loved one.

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!
