Hi, my name is Aiden Gorman.  I joined Student Visionaries through Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to support families like mine who have been affected by Cancer.  I lost my Great Grandma and Uncle to Cancer, and want to help in the search for a cure, and new treatments.  LLS is the perfect place for me as a Senior, to have the opportunity to work to help patients share another special moment with their loved ones, hopefully many more!  

My goal is to raise money for blood cancers. Every little bit makes a difference and that is my goal, to help contribute anything I can to bring light into other people's lives. LLS focuses on 3 main pillars: Advocacy, Patient Education and Support, and Research. My team has decided to focus on Patient Support and Education because we share in the drive to make a difference in the lives of patients and families. LLS plays such a integral role in providing support, education and guidance for patients and families so they do not face cancer alone.  

Did you know LLS is the leading source of free information, education and support for patients with blood cancer, survivors, caregivers, families and healthcare professionals. Last year alone, LLS Information Specialists responded to 25,000 inquiries from patients and caregivers.  And in 2023, LLS provided over $246 million in financial assistance to patients.

Also, LLS knows how challenging it can be for the furture during or after cancer treatments. Hospital stays and interruptions in school may mean pausing education goals. The high cost of cancer care can make affording higher education difficult-but LLS gives these families hope. LLS created the LLS Scholarship for Blood Cancer survivors so pediatric blood cancer survivors can chase their dreams!!! 

Help me find a cure for cancer by donating to my campaign from January 16th to March 6th. 

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!
