Hi Everyone!

It’s that time of year again…fundraising for a cure time! As most of you know my daughter Leah was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 9. Ever since then I have been very passionate about raising money for cancer research.

Every year my student council students and I host a fundraiser where we support a Little Miami High School student who is running for Student Visionary of the Year, which is a fundraiser for HS students that benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. This year we are raising money for Tyler Manocchio’s team, Team Drew Drew fights. Tyler is raising money in honor of his brother Drew who was diagnosed with leukemia at age 3 and is currently in remission.

I have set a personal goal of $500 to help our school hit our goal of $20,000! I continue to raise money in honor of Leah and in memory of 3 of her friends that we met during her treatment that are gone way too soon do to this disease, Liz Lothrop, Critter Smith, and Natalie Bradley.

Last year, with your help and the help of our staff, students, and community, we raised almost $19,000! Please help us hit our goal again this year! 

Thank you! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

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 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!
