Student Visionaries of the Year Houston

My Why

Nov 08, 2022

In 2019 my Pawpaw was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer and he battled it for a little over a year. By firsthand seeing the destructiveness of the disease I gained a new perspective and passion for helping those impacted by cancer. Through this fundraiser I want to help support the patients and families being affected by cancer, more specifically blood cancer. In the future I also hope to study medicine to specialize in Oncology. My heart goes out to the patients and families battling cancer and I want to do all I can to provide support for them!

 

 

McKynzie's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jun 23, 2022

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!
