WHAT
ABOUT
WHY
As a community campaign leader I created a team (VisionDefined) and together we raised $10,000 in a 10-week long fundraising initiative. As you'll see in the slideshow - I did this while pregnant with my first child. :)
My goal was to lead by example, build community involvement and encourage people to give back and support those affected by blood cancer.
I believe to whom much is given, much is required. Giving back should be a common way of life for everyone.
This was also a practical way for me to memorialize my aunt, Renee who passed of leukemia. She was a beautiful person whom we all love dearly.
We can all make a difference when we work together.
In 2017, I took on the challenge to be a fundraising leader in the Man & Woman of the Year (MWOY) campaign for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Fun Fact:
I was privileged to serve as the first African American female to run in the MWOY Central Ohio Chapter.

Special thanks for all who supported my campaign!
Many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients, but are also now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers and are in clinical trials for patients with lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. And LLS funded drugs like targeted therapies and immunotherapies are now saving thousands of lives every day.
