Mia's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Feb 02, 2022

Peyton Viane has dedicated her campaign to a friend of our’s named Georgia Butler. Georgia is a junior in high school and we danced together for my whole life; we grew close as both took tap. Once the pandemic hit we grew apart, but I found out just a few months ago she was diagnosed with leukemia. She has gone through extreme struggles throughout her experiences with surgeries, chemo, and her treatment plan is 2 years long. After this year with my Uncle Ben’s diagnosis (and recovery) of Colorectal cancer this cause has an even more personal connection to me. Two things that I value are family and doing what I can to give back to the community; and this cause allows me to follow through with both. Please help me and our team: Baking for a Cure!

Mia's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 10, 2022

Welcome To My Fundraising Page.

I have signed up to save lives with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and am working to raise as much as possible over the next 7 weeks. Every dollar raised counts as one vote for my campaign. The candidate(s) whose team tallies the most votes earns the prestigious title of Student or Students of the Year. Will you help me earn that title?
 
As you know, everyone wins when cancer loses. Thanks to your support, my efforts will help fund therapies and treatments that are saving lives. Over the years, support from people like you has been responsible for the blood cancer advancements that have doubled, tripled, and in some cases quadrupled the survival rate for some blood cancers.
 
Many LLS-supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are also now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers and are in clinical trials for patients with lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. And LLS-funded drugs like targeted therapies and immunotherapies are now saving thousands of lives every day.
 
We really are getting close to our goal of a world without blood cancers!
 
All donations are greatly appreciated and 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 friends who would also like to donate!
 
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support! For more information about LLS, please visit www.lls.org

    My father passed away in 1959 of acute lymphocytic leukemia, before there was any treatment whatsoever. There have been so many breakthroughs in the treatment of leukemia and other blood cancers since then, thanks to fundraising such as this. Am so pleased to support this wonderful cause.
