Cody Morrison

Cody Morrison was diagnosed with both Chronic NK Cell and Chronic T-Cell Large Granular Lymphocyte Leukemia in 2015 when he was 24, less than a year after graduating from Kean University with a B.A. in Special Education. Cancer derailed his teaching plans and after being on treatment for a little while, he created a list of all of the resources he had found so far during his cancer journey. That led to him asking every new person he met in the AYA community if they wanted his list of resources, which led to him stumbling into advocacy. That accidental advocacy ended up leading to him receiving Cactus Cancer Society’s inaugural Young Adult Cancer Advocate of the Year Award in 2025.

Cody runs a Facebook support group for LGL Leukemia patients, LGL Leukemia Support, and maintains a website with information for LGL Leukemia patients, LGLLSupport.com

Cody lives in New Jersey with his parents and sister. In his free time, he enjoys watching TV, reading books, genealogy, and helping people find the resources they need. He’s always on the hunt for more resources to add to his list.
