Hi! My name is Georgia Hash and I'm a junior at Memorial High School. I am a part of Memorial Young Life as well as Memorial Sweethearts. I am also in my second year as a Memorial Markette. I started dancing at three years old at Westminster Pre-School and since then it has been my favorite thing to do. I work at The Branch Boutique and absolutely love it and my family and friends are my main priority.

   I am so honored to be a part of LLS and to be chosen as a Student Visionary of the Year. The team I am leading, "TEAM BANKING ON A CURE," is made up of some of my closest friends and the best people I know. Working with this amazing team and the LLS staff, I am sure with your support that we will be able to reach our goal of $50,000. We are raising our money to support research for Leukemia and Lymphoma, one of the 3 pillars of LLS.

   The reason this campaign is so important to me is because at 30 years old, my dad lost his father from complications of Leukemia. My dad explained how heartbreaking it was to lose his dad at such a young age, he didn't get to see my dad get married, he never got to meet his grandchildren, and he never got to see my dad's business grow and expand like my dad hoped he would. Although I never got to meet my Grandpa Gerry (also known as Hashie) I've heard so many amazing stories about him and I'm glad I get to know him through the memories of others.
