Hey! I thought I'd give a bit of an introduction to myself so you all know a little about me and why I wanted to work with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society!

My name is Chase Blackwell, and I am from Atlanta, Georgia. I am 17 years old and a Junior at Whitefield Academy. I participate in several things at my school (aside from LLS) such as: Boy Scouts, Track and Field, Student Government, Theater, the Ecuador Mission Team, and the National Honor Society. My main motivation to join LLS was due to the fact that both my parents had cancer, and have since passed away (my mother in 2016 and my father in 2017). When I was first told about LLS, I was ecstatic to join because I thought it would give me a chance to be able to help support other families who have loved ones battling cancer, and hopefully be able to bring the world closer to a day when nobody has to worry about losing loved ones to cancer. 

We are 1 Week out from the beginning of the fundraising adventure! Can't wait to do my best to raise money in hopes of finding a cure towards cancer!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.

As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.

Please visit my website as often as you can and share it with everyone you know who would also like to join us in the fight against cancer. Together, we have the power, the passion and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer. All donations are tax-deductible.

On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!
