Stephanie's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Mar 19, 2023

Hello!
​​​​​​​I am so excited to be taking part in the 2023 LLS Student Visionaries of the Year campaign! Before donating to my campaign, I think it is important to get to know me a little better. I am currently a junior at Nardin Academy, and I really enjoy being active within my school. I have been a varsity track athlete on the indoor team for 2 years and on the outdoor team for 3. I am so lucky to have been chosen as a captain for both this indoor and outdoor season. I love spending my time making snack runs for the team and taking photos for the team Instagram account. I am a member of Nardin's Model United Nations, and am an active member on the Executive Committee! I enjoy spending time with my awesome family and going out to eat with friends. On weekends I work at Hollister and run in track meets, keeping me plenty busy! Despite the crazy schedule, I am so lucky to have the opportunity to dedicate my time to LLS. They have done so much for my family, and to be able to help provide similar services to other families is truly a blessing. 
​​​​​​​-Steph

 

Stephanie's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Sep 16, 2022

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!
