Dear Friends and Family,

Maya Sarram and Bella Brinton proudly announce their candidacy for the 2024 Student Visionary of the Year Campaign with The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Our team, Answer for Cancer, competes against students from across Colorado to raise the most money within a 7-week period. At the end of the seven weeks, the team with the highest total gets elected Student Visionary of the Year! LLS dedicates itself to finding cures for blood cancers like Leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s Disease, and myeloma. LLS is the largest nonprofit research funder for every type of blood cancer. Since 2017, they have helped advance 70% of the blood cancer treatment options approved by the FDA. They have donated more than $1.6 billion to blood cancer researchers and biotech companies to support their groundbreaking research. This is only possible because of people like you, and LLS hopes to continue to help progress treatments and save lives. 

Bella and Maya have both been personally affected by Cancer. Cancer runs through both sides of Bella’s family, and her grandfather was recently diagnosed. She hopes that being a part of LLS can help the future generations of her family and so many others while also supporting her grandfather through his fight with cancer.

Maya’s Mom was diagnosed with cancer a little over a year ago. Thankfully, it was caught early, but this made Maya realize that others aren’t so lucky. Both girls want to find a way that they could give back to others and make a lasting impact on something bigger than themselves. LLS was the perfect opportunity.

We've assumed the responsibility of shaping the future for countless lives, and now, we invite you to share in this transformative journey. Join us in our battle against blood cancer. We want your contributions to bring you a sense of fulfillment, which is why our team has committed itself wholeheartedly to cancer research. Every dollar you donate will be channeled into funding vital scientific investigations. Our choice to prioritize research aligns with our overarching mission: to safeguard the lives of prospective patients. This commitment to research also served as the inspiration behind our team's name: "Answer for Cancer." Our campaign is wholly dedicated to the prospects of future patients, and we aspire to bolster groundbreaking research that will serve as the catalyst for saving millions of lives. No donation is too small! Please donate whatever you are able to give.
