When I was in middle school, my dad was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). During this time, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society deeply supported our family. Sadly, my dad passed in 2021, but my loved ones and I continue to honor his spirit by making the most out of our lives. I became a volunteer because I strive for a future where cancer has a cure. All donations are deeply appreciated and will go to cancer research! 

In closing, I'd like to share a quote from my dad, "Be open to life. Be open to opportunities. Be open to saying ‘yes’ to following your passion. Be open to connecting with your soul and live from that place. That is what makes your life unique. Pursue what brings you joy. Because what brings you joy is looking for you."

The ancient stone arches rise behind them against a clear blue sky, capturing a travel moment while raising awareness for blood cancer through inclusive, human‑centered storytelling.
