Student Visionaries of the Year Houston

Jack's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 07, 2025

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. I am participating in Student Visionaries of The Year in honor of my grandmother, Jan Jones, who I call Granjan. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2019, She fought her battle going through treatments followed by surgery in 2020. She rang the bell to signify the end of her treatments in 2020. Since then all scans have shown no signs of cancer. I am happy to say she is still with us today because of early detection, her amazing doctors and the grace of God. This made us realize how quickly cancer can strike and affect families in a way no one is prepared for.

 

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!
