Rachel's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 30, 2025

Cancer has a way of reaching into all our lives, directly or through someone we love. For me, it became deeply personal at just eight years old when I was diagnosed with leukemia. My world changed overnight—childhood joys gave way to hospital stays and uncertainty. But through the pain and fear, I discovered resilience I didn’t know I had.

I’m here today because of groundbreaking treatments made possible by research funded through organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). That support saved my life. But the fight isn’t over—many families are still waiting for hope.

Your generosity fuels that hope. It drives research, saves lives, and brings us closer to a future free from cancer. Thank you for being part of this fight.
