Sean's Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Sean's Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Feb 03, 2025

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.

When I was eight years old, I lost my father to ALS after a three-year battle. Watching him fight that disease shaped my understanding of resilience, loss, and the profound impact illness has on both the individual and their loved ones. I know what it feels like to hope for more time, for better treatments, and for a cure that never came. That's why I'm fundrasing for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Families facing a leukemia or lymphoma diagnosis are navigating the same uncertainty and heartbreak I once knew. LLS is leading the fight to advance life-saving treatments, provide critical support to patients and their families, and bring us closer to a world without blood cancer. I am raising funds not just in honor of those who are fighting today, but in memory of those we've lost and in hope for those who will face this battle in the future - because every family deserves more tomorrows. 

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 candidate, 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. 

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.
