Welcome to our fundraising page! Our names our Ben and Jake and we are the 2017 Boys of the Year! We were only three years old when our Mom, Erika, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. She fought very hard for nine months and right before Christmas she passed away from complications of a bone marrow transplant. Ever since our Mom died, we have been raising money for LLS so that no other kids have to lose their Mom to blood cancer. You can watch our story here.
Please join us in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to our fundraising campaign. Your support will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today.
LLS's continued advancements over the years, are responsible for the blood cancer survival rate doubling and tripling; in some cases, the survival rate has even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.
We really are changing the face of blood cancer!
