Grant Lilles' Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Grant's Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Mar 20, 2025

Dear Friends and Family,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to share something deeply personal and incredibly important. I’ve taken on the challenge of running for Visionary of the Year with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). LLS is a remarkable nonprofit dedicated to funding groundbreaking cancer research, providing critical support for patients and families, and driving policy changes that make a lasting difference. Since 2017, LLS has helped advance over 85% of the 100 FDA approved blood cancer treatments. Many of these LLS supported therapies have also led to advances in other types of cancers treatments like colon, brain, bone, and breast.

Their mission is one I feel profoundly connected to. Like so many of you, I have witnessed the devastating impact cancer can have. I’ve lost loved ones to this disease, and I’ve also watched courageous fighters beat the odds. This year, I’m dedicating my campaign to someone very special—my cousin Alexa. Just over a year ago, Alexa was diagnosed with cancer at only 30 years old. We stood by her side as she faced this battle with extraordinary strength and grace. We saw firsthand the immense physical and emotional toll cancer takes, not only on patients but also on the people who love them. By God’s grace, Alexa is now in remission, though her journey toward healing continues.

Inspired by her bravery, I am committed to raising funds in her honor to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s life-saving work. My goal is to help ensure that more families get to celebrate remission and that, one day, we live in a world without cancer.

I would be so grateful if you would consider making a donation to this cause. Every contribution—big or small—brings us closer to that future. Together, we can make an incredible difference

Thank you in advance for your support! 

With love and gratitude,
