Let's Strike Out Cancer together with Team #KOCancer!

When I was diagnosed with melanoma at three years old and again at ten years old, I was lucky to have friends and family around me who supported me in my time of need. Now that I am sixteen, cancer-free, and actively involved with LLS, I am excited to have my great support system help me in other's time of need. 

We are ready to Strike Out Cancer together!

Ashley, myself, and Holly.

Myself and my cousin, Peanut.

My mom Annette, my sisters Alex and Maiya, and I at the LLS Light the Night Walk in 2012.

My sister Maiya and I in 2012 and 2017 when she ran for Student of the Year in my honor.

I am so excited to have each of these people on my team. Together I hope we can make an impact in striking out cancer!

I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2019 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am proud to support my candidate and am raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Each dollar is a vote. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student of the Year. Our mission is to not only raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens.

Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS-funded research but will help provide critical information and support for patients, and support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.

Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!
