Mira's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Hi All!

I have seen people struggle with cancer for as long as I can remember.  When I was 9 years old, my grandma was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. She was shuffled in and out of hospitals and went through multiple sessions of chemo before passing away last May. Seeing her weak and bed ridden for her last few years of life made me feel helpless; I vowed to do all I could to help cure this disease. 

 

   I am honored to have been nominated as a Student of the Year candidate for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. Compared to other blood cancer nonprofits, LLS is the largest funder of cutting-edge research to advance cures; this research saves lives. These revolutionary new treatments originally discovered through blood cancer research are now being tested in clinical trials for other cancers.

 

I am building a team to help me raise money to cure cancer. Our team name is the Cancer Curesaders. I am asking you to be on my team because you are very academically motivated and a strong leader. Our goal is to raise 50,000! You will receive tons of support from both me and the LLS staff. We will work together to cure 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!
