SVMB Students of the Year

Alden Gu | Team Cancer conCUREors

Welcome to Alden Gu's SOY Fundraising Page!

Feb 24, 2018

Thank you for visiting my LLS fundraising page!

I am honored to be supporting The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Student of the Year program which is a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit patients suffering from blood cancers.

 

Like my grandma says, "You help because you are blessed with the resources to help." Use the donation box to the left to donate securely on-line by February 23, 2018. Please also send this webpage to friends!  

 

I am raising critical dollars to cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and Myeloma; improve the quality of life of patients and their families; and also to bring attention to blood cancers like Leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens.

 

We need the funds for research because the market for cures and treatment are too niche and are therefore not profitable enough for commercial investors. 

 

Still, an estimated 1,290,773 people in the US are suffering and struggling daily from the debilitating effects of Leukemia, Lymphoma or Myeloma. LLS uses your donations and helps distraught families find the help and information that they need. LLS comforts them and informs them about new treatment options that are available. LLS also uses a portion of your donations for research and investments in universities and pharmaceutical companies to encourage them to actively find cures for Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Myeloma. 

 

All donations are greatly appreciated. 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.

 

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