More than 30 school districts throughout Northeast Ohio have competed in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Student Visionary of the Year program.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month. Every three minutes, someone in the United States is diagnosed with blood cancer.
“That was my moment of ‘Oh Wow,’ the bigger picture, like we’re helping so many people by doing this,” says Klingzing. Summer met with all the students competing in the fundraiser, telling them about her diagnosis and her treatment. “Co-pays add up and you have so many expenses and my dad has great insurance but it’s so expensive,” says Summer, adding, “To me, cancer itself is not scary. Chemo is scary. Knowing that you had to fight, was scary.”Klingzing was the 2023 Student Visionary Runner-Up.
