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. 

In 2001, my Father was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.  He spent months in the hospital and spent that year’s Thanksgiving and Christmas at the Shadyside Cancer Treatment Center in Pittsburgh.  Unfortunately, in April of last year, we lost my Father to a heart attack.  Without the research of LLS, I would have never received those extra 24 years with him, and as I was 9 years old at the time, I know all of my personal and professional successes are because I had my Dad during my formative years. .

Please consider supporting this organization by making a contribution to my campaign, and by sharing the link to my page with your network. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. For more information on LLS, please visit www.LLS.org 

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support.
