Anna's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser
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.
A little bit about me is that I am a junior at Brookfield East. I am a candidate working to support patients with Leukemia and Lymphoma with Mallory Graziano and Ian Rortvedt. My LLS journey started two years ago when I was asked to be a team member by a friend of mine. She introduced me to this amazing blood cancer organization. The experience of saving money for blood cancers was something I will never forget. That is why when she nominated me as a candidate, I was very excited to continue the tradition of raising money. 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. Our team goal is $50,000. We want to make as much of an impact as possible. We hope you can join the fight!
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!

Thank you for your time, treasure and talent supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! Both my grandmother and a childhood friend lost their battles with leukemia over 30 years ago . . . I pray that in the next 30 years we have found a cure!
