Dear Donors and Visitors,
When it comes to cancer, we all are connected to loved ones or someone we know who lives with its reality. For me, I was present in the world of cancer since I was born, as my elder sister Bella was diagnosed with multiple forms of cancer. Throughout my childhood, my sister's life was one of many cancer treatments, procedures, and visitors in the environment of hospitals. Nevertheless, Bella ceaselessly sought opportunities to pursue the people and things she loved, carrying an emblematic spirit of resilience and compassion. Although Bella's passing in 2014 marked the end of her fight with cancer, my fight continues for Bella in any avenue I find to help cancer patients and cancer research across the globe.
At Vanderbilt, the Relay for Life Chapter cultivates the determination to help bring care to cancer patients and fund cancer research, and I am continuing to share my sister's story and legacy to bring forth a better tomorrow for the fight against cancer.
In memory of Bella and the many who have been afflicted with cancer, please make a donation to Relay for Life, which can be done on this page.
For the cure,
William Ledesma
Vanderbilt Class of 2025

Your support allows the American Cancer Society to continue:
Fighting cancer in city halls, statehouses, and Congress by elevating the patient voice to advance policy change through the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN)
Ensuring no one feels alone at any point on their cancer journey, from prevention to survivorship, and, for some, the end of life.
Investing in breakthrough science to find more - and better - treatments, uncover factors that may cause cancer, and improve patients' quality of life.
Ensuring that all people have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive cancer. ACS and ACS CAN believe all people should have a fair and just opportunity to live a longer, healthier life free from cancer regardless of how much money they make, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, gender identity, their disability status, or where they live.
Luminarias honor every life touched by cancer. You can dedicate them to a loved one lost, someone currently battling, or anyone who's overcome it.
Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

This isn’t what I wanted.
Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.
Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
