I am honored to have been accepted as a candidate in the 2018 Students of the Year program! As many of you know I myself am a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2010 at the age of 10.  Hodgkin’s has a high survival rate, but it still isn’t perfect. I was lucky enough to make it through 26 chemo treatments and 13 radiation treatments and end up in remission. Not everyone is as lucky as I am, and that’s why I’ve decided to give back to LLS. LLS is working to help make the survival rate 100%! I am now 7 years in remission, and I am so excited to be able to give back to such an amazing organization! Thank you so much for all of the kind donations! 

Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS-funded research but will help provide critical information and support for patients, and support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.

Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support!
