Nina's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 31, 2024

I’m proud to be a team leader of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, working to raise as much as possible for LLS’s mission. I'm raising money in honor of my grandfather Narayan Sankaran who had Myelodysplastic syndrome and I believe that he would be incredibly proud of the work I'm doing. My team goal is $20,000 and I've gathered an amazing group of people to help contribute to this goal. I believe we will be able to reach this goal but we need your help! We would greatly appreciate as much as you can give to help us acheive our goal. Anything and everything is greatly appreciated! 

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!

Sincerely, 

Nina Geerdink
