Hello, we are Team Blood Buds, and we are a part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Student Visionaries of the Year campaign. Our team is mainly centered around the St. Xavier High School and Ursuline Academy communities. However, we also have outreach to many other high schools including Wyoming, Lakota, Badin, Norwood, Oak Hills, and Turpin. We are led by three juniors Matt Hanna, Liam Bien, and Celia Donovan. Each member joined with Blood Buds for their own unique reasons. However, we're all here because we have seen how blood cancer destroys the lives of families. This inspired us to support and put our goals into action. During our fundraising journey, we will advocate for those silenced by cancer, and we'll raise money for the education, patient support, and research of blood cancer to stop this horrible disease. With your help, people will stay blood cancer free, happy, and loved. We appreciate your financial support for our cause, and we hope you'll continue to raise awareness and save people's lives.

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!
