π and proudly introduce Amethyst Roebuck and this amazing opportunity to support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society π
Dear Friends,
I'm beyond excited to share with you an incredible opportunity I've been given to make a difference in the fight against blood cancer. As a nominee for the "Visionaries of the Year" campaign by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), I'm honored to represent our community in raising funds for this crucial cause.
But this campaign isn't just about fundraising for me; it's deeply personal. Some of you may know that I spent three years pursuing my dreams in medical school in the Philippines. It's an achievement I'm proud of, yet one I had to step away from due to a heartbreaking reason: the lack of equity in healthcare. Witnessing firsthand the struggles of the underprivileged to access affordable medicine and healthcare deeply impacted me.
Now, through this campaign, I'm turning that experience into action. I've seen the devastating effects of blood cancers on individuals and families, including my own loved ones. LLS played a pivotal role in supporting them, which is why I'm passionate about advocating for equity in healthcare, a cause close to my heart.
From March 26th to June 8th, our team's goal is to raise $175,000 to support LLS's mission of a world without blood cancers. Your support means the world to me, and together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those affected by these diseases.
Join me in this journey, and let's fight for a future where everyone has equal access to healthcare. Together, we can turn the tide against blood cancers.
With gratitude,
Amethyst C. Roebuck
