My Story

Jan 16, 2025

Hi, my name is Ava Card and I am currently a senior at Scotia-Glenville High School. I joined the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society last year as part of my close friend's team. That was the first time I had ever heard of LLS and their lifesaving mission, and now I'm proud to call myself a Student Visionary. 

This organization creates a huge and lasting impact in the fight against blood cancer, seeking not only cures but also support and education for patients and their families. I believe that every effort counts, and being part of this organization allows me to contribute to meaningful change in the lives of those affected by these awful diseases. 

My involvement in LLS so far has been a transformative experience for me. Hearing the stories of survivors has opened my eyes to resilience and inspires me to help strive towards a future without blood cancer. I'm grateful to be a part of this mission and hope that together we can foster a community dedicated to making a difference! 

 

 

 

 

Ava's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jul 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.

 

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!

    Give because you can and give for the people who can not. Give for the people fighting cancer, give for the effort of all those working to raise money to help in the fight. Give because cancer knows no boundary.
