Mayer Levit | Team Donate to Defend

Why

Nov 15, 2023

WHY:

I am doing this project in honor of my grandfather Milton Levit who had Prostate Cancer in his 70s and was very private about it to our family. He passed away on his 80th birthday due to a heart attack. Milton was a huge inspiration to my dad so much so that I was named after him. He was such a charitable man and I have heard many good things about him so I decided to attack this project in his honor.

 

Mayer's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Oct 17, 2023

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!

    I am a cancer surgeon engaged in cancer research research at the nation's leading cancer center. When I was a greaduate student working on my PhD, I was awarded my first research grant from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. My gift is a way of showing gratitude to the L&L Society for helping me get a start as a clinician-scientist. More importantly, it is a way to honor Mr. Milton Levit, who i never met personally, but who I have gotten to know through his son and grandsons whose kindness and generosity touch our local community so greatly in a variety of impactful ways!
