Wade's Student Visionaries of the Year Houston Fundraiser

Nov 27, 2023

I am fighting to end blood cancer in honor of kids like Trace. Trace was diagnosed with High-Grade B-Cell Lymphoma on July 1st, 2022, and just 15 years old. A healthy football player, wrestler, and soon-to-be high school sophomore, a cancer diagnosis was a complete shock for him and his family. Luckily, Trace was able to receive care at one of the best oncology units in the world, Texas Children’s Hospital. He spent roughly three months in the hospital while receiving five cycles of chemotherapy, forcing him to miss the first semester of his sophomore year. Now more than ever, we need to take initiative and shine light on this scary and deadly disease. I am fighting for kids like Trace! 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!
