Student Visionaries of the Year Houston

Avery's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 10, 2024

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.

 

I'm running in honor of Lawson Haas. Lawson was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia at the age of 7 and underwent several rounds of chemo before having his first bone marrow transplant with his 10-year-old brother as his donor. At the age of 9, he experienced an AML relapse involving several rare myeloid sarcomas that required surgeries, radiation, and more chemo. Lawson just underwent his second bone marrow transplant on August 1st, 2023, right before his 10th birthday with his older brother again being his donor. Lawson's most recent test results 30 days post-transplant are showing signs of a healthy second bone marrow transplant and regained remission! 

 

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!
