Student Visionaries of the Year South Texas

Shalini Patel | Battle for Blood

Shalini's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser; Battle for Blood

Jan 31, 2025

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 joined LLS because I’m deeply passionate about supporting an impactful cause which deserves more attention. This opportunity allows me to make a real difference in the fight against blood cancers, while also contributing to the well-being of my community.  I first realized the power of making a difference when I attended "Light the Night" when I was only 8, and felt the power in numbers. My personal passion is the science behind these particular diseases; I am intrigued about looking to and expanding research to find a cure, and make life easier for the millions of childrens and adults in our community. I have delved with science and research in the past, and I hope to continue my passions through LLS. For me, it’s about more than just fundraising—it’s about taking action, raising awareness, and demonstrating that together we can create meaningful change. I believe in the power of research to save lives, and I’m committed to being part of the solution

 

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!
