Amanda is
Blood Cancer United

Amanda was a Woman of the Year candidate this past spring, raising over $186,000 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).

She is a multiple myeloma survivor and just received the newly approved for MM, CAR-T cell treatment, 5 days before the fundraising campaign finale.

LLS first met Amanda when she was pushed through the front doors of the office in her local region, in a wheelchair.

She became the team captain for her Light The Night team and from there, wanted to know how to be a successful team captain and fundraiser for LLS. She has certainly figured it out!
