Dear Family and Friends,

Ten years ago, I faced my toughest battle—stage IV T-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Thanks to groundbreaking research and the incredible support of loved ones, I fought through treatment and vowed to pay forward the kindness I received. In 2016, I joined the Delaware Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and, with your help, raised $34,000 to fund lifesaving blood cancer research. That research made my targeted treatment possible and gave my husband and me the priceless gift of hope for our future family.

Today, I am beyond grateful to celebrate 10 years in remission. Joe and I now have two wonderful sons, Joseph (4) and Dominic (7 months), and I continue my career as a nurse, striving to give others the same compassion that carried me through my journey. To mark this milestone, I am honored to compete once again in the 2025 LLS Visionary of the Year campaign—this time on a national level as Delaware’s All-Star candidate. I humbly ask for your support in raising funds that will fuel cutting-edge research and bring hope to families facing cancer today. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing by me. Your support has turned a story of struggle into one of triumph. Here’s to many more years of health, happiness, and making a difference together.

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.

I am a visionary; I have a vision for a world without cancer, but I need your help! The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on this same vision--of a better world--one without blood cancers. 

This year, I am proud to be participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Visionaries of the Year campaign as a team member, working to make the largest impact 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.
