Student Visionaries of the Year Las Vegas

Michelle's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 03, 2024

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.

I chose to be an LLS Visionary because we can encounter somebody battling cancer throughout all walks of life. I was in middle school when I learned about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, an organization dedicated to children with cancer. As I explored more and more about cancer, I realized just how many people can be affected by this disease. In 2023 alone, about 1.9 million cancer cases were projected to be diagnosed in the US, and all of these people, and their families, began a fight against a disease that has no cure. Being a Visionary is an opportunity for me to help these patients and their families though their grueling journey of overcoming cancer, and any contribution that you make to this mission would impact so many lives.

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.

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!
