Honoring Visionaries of the Year: Sheldon McKenzie’s Fight Against Leukemia

In a world filled with challenges, it takes visionaries to step up and make a difference. Meet Sheldon McKenzie, a shining example of dedication and compassion, nominated as a candidate for the 2024 NYC Visionaries of the Year. Sheldon’s journey is not just about personal achievement but about honoring the memory of his beloved grandmother and contributing to a cause close to his heart – the fight against leukemia.

The year 2022 marked a significant loss for Sheldon as he bid farewell to his grandmother, who succumbed to leukemia. This heartbreaking experience became a catalyst for Sheldon’s deep involvement in raising awareness and funds for leukemia research. His journey began when he joined his company, @usbank, in their participation in Light The Night, a campaign organized by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (@LLSusa).

Sheldon, along with his team named Dare to Believe, embarked on a mission to make a tangible difference in the fight against leukemia. Their dedication and determination led them to explore various avenues to contribute meaningfully to the cause. Beyond simply participating in events, they sought to deepen their engagement and support for leukemia research, driven by a shared vision of finding a cure.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) has been at the forefront of leukemia research, advocacy, and patient support for decades. With their unwavering commitment to advancing treatments and ultimately finding a cure, LLS relies on the support and generosity of individuals and organizations like @usbank.

Sheldon’s nomination as a candidate for the 2024 NYC Visionaries of the Year is a testament to his outstanding efforts and leadership in this field. His determination to turn personal tragedy into a force for good exemplifies the spirit of a true visionary. Through his advocacy and fundraising initiatives, Sheldon not only honors his grandmother’s memory but also brings hope to countless others affected by leukemia.

It’s crucial to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of companies like @usbank, who recognize the importance of corporate social responsibility and actively support causes that make a positive impact on society. Their partnership with LLS and commitment to initiatives like Light The Night underscores their dedication to giving back to the community and making a difference in the lives of those in need.

As we applaud Sheldon McKenzie and his team, Dare to Believe, for their inspiring efforts, let us also recognize the importance of collective action in the fight against leukemia.
