Thank you for visiting my LLS fundraising page!

Cancer has impacted many of the people in my life. Back when I was three years old, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Sadly it returned two years later while I was in kindergarten. I remember how hard my mom fought - 16 rounds of chemo, 36 rounds of radiation, countless surgeries - all while raising me. While most of that time was a fog of memories, I clearly remember the day I helped my mom shave her head before chemo. It was sad, but a way to have fun and laugh during a hard time.  I thought that would be my last time seeing someone I love battle cancer, but unfortunately, this disease impacts so many people. 

I am joining the fight against cancer with my friend, Isabelle Thompson, in raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I met Isabelle through my best friend Madeline Thompson. Isabelle put up a brave and courageous fight against Leukemia two years back. Watching someone close in age to me fight this terrible disease gives me the drive to want to raise money for research and funding to help fight and end blood cancers. 

Please consider donating to the cause - any amount, big or small, will help.  

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!
