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.

Last year, I had the opportunity to serve under, “Team Tackle Cancer,” which was originally led by a friend of mine, Matt Fahn, who battled Hodgkin’s lymphoma our freshman year of high school. I wanted to continue my high school’s legacy and embrace our mascot, Dewey Dolphin, in our team’s name. Additionally, dolphin’s are altruistic, meaning they’re always supportive and compassionate, both qualities in which my team will look to emulate in our support of those still fighting their battles.

I’m running this campaign in honor of my uncle, Phil, and grandpa, Zedi (both pictured with me below), who both tragically lost their battles with cancer — along with a friend of mine who’s currently enduring his second round of chemotherapy. I’ve seen first hand how important it is to support those still fighting. Whether that’s through moral or emotional support, or something more tangible like a card, gift, or donation, it’s important to provide beacons of support to those fighting to encourage them to keep fighting, knowing we’re right there on the bench if they need us. I’m running for Students of the year because I want those fighting their battles to know I’m in their corner, and if I’m able to achieve my goal of raising $50,000, I believe I’ll be able to do just that.

 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.
