Welcome to Helen Gutierrez's SOY Fundraising Page!
Welcome To My Fundraising Page!
Please join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. Thanks to your support, my efforts, will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today.
I started this campaign to make a difference among cancer patients, following the tragic story of 4-year-old Vanessa. While she is not one of the LLS Honored Heros, she is an honored hero to me. Vanessa was my beautiful little cousin that was diagnosed with liver cancer. Though she suffered from several different treatments, including chemotherapy, her resilience shone through the situation.
While she was in the hospital, Princesses Against Cancer visited her and made her feel like a princess for a day. I am forever grateful to them for that. This is part of what motivated me to find a way to put smiles on the faces of children going through this kind of situation.
Unfortunately, Vanessa passed away shortly after her fourth birthday, devastating our family. Because of this, I decided that I would do something to help other children and their families, so that others do not have to go through what our family went through. I decided to join Students of the Year. Through this competition, my team and I will be able to raise large sums of money for the research that will hopefully cure cancer one day, through an organization that has already made so much progress in changing the face of cancer.
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.
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS research but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.
Please visit my website often and tell your friends! Don't forget to spread the word by posting about my mission on social media!
Thanks for your support! Together we can all make a difference!

After what we went through as a family, we understand the urgency of finding a cure! I am not a scientist or own a lab, but I can support those who can make this possible. This sickness is not a problem of the rich or the poor, it is a problem for all that needs to be solved hopefully in our lifetime. Let's get together as a society and make a difference for present and future generations!
