Atlanta Students of the Year
Max and Lee | Max and Lee's Campaign Team
Welcome to Max and Lee's SOY Fundraising Page!
Dear family and friends,
This year we are privileged to be nominated as candidates for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Students of the Year Campaign. The Students of the Year Campaign is a seven-week fundraising competition to raise money to support LLS’s mission. Together as a team, we will raise the funds necessary to benefit those who need them.
We both have connections to leukemia. Lee’s friend, Peyton Gully, was diagnosed with ALL and AML leukemia in January 2017. After initial treatment, she went into remission for about two months before the cancer came back. Recently, she has received additional treatment and again has gone into remission. She just received her bone marrow transplant to prevent the cancer from coming back. Lee is doing this campaign to honor Peyton and so other kids do not have to fight the cancer Peyton has.
Max lost his Grandfather, Harold Winkler, to leukemia (CLL/AML) in September 2015. Max saw his Grandfather courageously battle the disease for over five years. Despite his illness, he kept a positive attitude and did not allow the disease to stop him from enjoying his family and hobbies. Max is doing the campaign in honor of his Grandfather’s memory and to help find a cure for blood cancers.
In the fight against cancer, more and more, cancer is losing and LLS is helping us win. Recently, LLS came out with a treatment called CAR-T. Following this treatment, Peyton was cancer free!
Please support our Campaign to help find a cure for blood cancers. Our Campaign goal over this seven-week period is $25,000, and all donations must be received by March 2, 2018. You can make a tax-deductible donation by going online to our secure website: https://events.lls.org/ga/AtlantaSOY2018/MaxandLee and clicking "Donate Now". You can also send a check payable to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (write SOY Lee Proper/Max Winkler in the memo line) in the enclosed envelope. Donations must be received by March 2, 2018. Don’t forget to request a matching donation if your company matches!
We hope for many more happy outcomes like Peyton’s! Thank you in advance for your support.
