Addison, Kate B, & Kate I's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 21, 2022

 

Hello! Our names are Addison, Kate B, and Kate I. We have signed up to save lives with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and are 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 us earn that title?
 
As you know, everyone wins when cancer loses. Thanks to your support, our 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.LLS-funded drugs like targeted therapies and immunotherapies are now saving thousands of lives every day.

This is a type of cancer that affects all ages. Blood cancer does not discriminate by age. It affects babies, children, teens, adults, and the elderly. Our honored hero Lukas, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at 21 months old. He entered the maintenance phase of his treatment in December 2019. He is taking oral chemotherapy every day, and every 12 weeks he receives spinal taps and IV chemo. He will finish his treatment around his 5th birthday in June 2022.
 
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
