Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome! I am Michael Lau, currently a 10th grader at Los Alamitos High School in Los Alamitos California. I was selected by my friend Trevor to help him with his campaign for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Student of the Year Challenge (SOY). He is the leader of our team called Buckets against Cancer. LLS is a non-profit organization where they raise money and help support patients with blood cancer, and further find a cure for all blood cancers. As part of his team, our goal is to raise $50,000 and my personal goal is $5,000! I know this sounds like a lot, but I believe we can beat this goal as a team!

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.

I joined LLS because my Lola, Lolo, and Grandma were all diagnosed with a type of cancer through different times. Luckily, my Lola was the only one that beat cancer. Even though my grandparents weren't diagnosed with types of blood cancer, I want to help other families during those tough times, and help them beat cancer as well. 

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!
