Bridget's Student Visionaries of the Year Houston Fundraiser
Fighting cancer has a big place in my heart. I have witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of cancer. My mother’s lifelong friend, Bridget, died of leukemia at age twenty. My mom always knew that her first born girl would take that name. I am honored to be named Bridget, after such a courageous young lady.
But the main reason I am here today raising money for this amazing cause is in honor of Kelley Reid. She was my family’s close friend; I even called her Aunt Kelley. A few years ago she was diagnosed with cancer. After treatment, she was cancer free, but not long after she was diagnosed again; this time with a more aggressive cancer. She never complained, and she was always joyful. Sadly, in August she went to be with the Lord after a hard-fought battle leaving her husband and two ten-year old twins behind. I am fighting for people like Kelly and her family. Will you help me make an impact?

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!
