Student Visionaries of the Year

Our team took part in Blood Cancer United's Student Visionaries of the Year (SVOY) campaign: a leadership and fundraising challenge for student changemakers, run over just seven weeks in 2026. Our pillar was patient support: we wrote articles about patient support, encouraged volunteering at hospitals, and ran a letter-writing campaign for patients. Raising what we did in only seven weeks is something we're really proud of.
