This mission is especially important to me because I have witnessed the effects and impacts living with blood cancer has on individuals, families, and friends. My aunt, Jennifer Daniels (Jen Jen) a few years ago was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL).  For a while she was dealing with this, but now she is doing very well and working at our Second Baptist School. Another relative I have had gone through a similar cancer is my aunt, Denny Daniels. She was in constant battle with breast cancer. She is a professional hair stylist, and once she was diagnosed with this dreaded cancer, she had to stop her profession and go in and out of hospitals battling the cancer. After constant help, she survived it and now has returned to what she does best. 

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!
