Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

After battling cancer two years ago (Acute Myeloid Leukemia), I became passionate about raising awareness and funding for cancer research, especially for pediatrics. I lived in Seattle Children's Hospital for nearly 8 months, went through 5 rounds of chemo, was faced with so many scary side affects that my medical team had to manage and while I still go in all of the time for blood work and Dr. visits to monitor everything in my body, I am now cancer free. I owe my life to my amazing medical team and being a part of a research trial. 

This past year, I was an Honored Hero for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and shared my story and experiences to inspire adults and teens to be a part of the LLS annual Visionaries of the Year campaign. I have advocated for Seattle Children's Hospital to raise funding for high risk leukemia research trials, still participate in post treatment trials to help researchers understand the after affects of chemo on teens and know many others want to help. But don't know how. 

Now, I have decided to lead this LLS campaign myself.  Together with my amazing team, from Feb 8^th to March 30^th we want to raise as much awareness as possible to help fund research for cancer and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Some of my doctors are recipients of LLS grants, survivors I know have benefitted from LLS funding and we MUST help grow the current 4% (yes, ONLY 4%) that goes towards pediatric cancer research.   

On behalf of those who have battled or are battling this terrible disease, THANK YOU for joining me in the fight. There have to be better and less toxic ways for babies, toddlers, teens or adults to fight blood cancers. Your donation (in the form of cash, stock...and don't forget your company matches!) will go towards research leading to breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine to help save and improve the lives of patients. Any amount helps, and makes a difference.
