A little bit about our compaign...
I am very appreciative to have been accepted as a candidate in the 2018 Students of the Year program. I have seven weeks to raise the most funds in order to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am raising money in honor of my mother Katherine Novikov who recently had a bone marrow transplant from my brother after many cycles of chemotherapy.

Good luck Mark, James, and Michael! You guys are awesome for helping find a cure for Leukemia and Lymphoma. This cause is very special to me, as my mother bravely fought double Lymphoma for 12 years before passing two years ago. My daughter, Carly, who was three years ahead of you at Norwood, was a Student of the Year candidate the very first year of the program. She dedicated her campaign to my mother, so this program is special to our family for that reason also. Please give your mother my best. I'm so happy to hear that she beat her Lymphoma and is doing well. That is awesome!
