Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read more about my involvment in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).

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.

This year, I was fortunate enough to be chosen as a candidate for LLS's 2025 Student Visionaries of the Year program. Alongside my bestfriend and co-candidate Holly Rodriguez, I have built a team of like-minded individuals seeking a change in the community. For the next seven weeks, we have been challenged to spread awareness and raise money for the fight against blood cancer. 

As a teenager, I feel deeply connected to the kids battling cancer.  Every day, someone just like me wakes up in a hospital bed instead of their own. They receive painful treatments instead of going to school, playing sports, and hanging out with their friends. Their fight reminds me of how precious every moment is -- moments that cancer steals. 

That's why I chose to be a Visionary -- to be a voice, an advocate, and hope for individuals affected by this disease. But I need YOUR HELP.

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!
