My name is Johnathan Manning. I am currently an eleventh-grade student at Bishop McDevitt High School, and I am honored to be a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student of the Year campaign of 2020. I am writing today to ask for your support in my efforts to help LLS in its mission to ensure access to cures and treatments for blood cancers. For seven weeks at the start of 2020 (January 16th to March 6th) students across the country will be raising awareness for research, programs, and advocacy being conducted through LLS, in addition to raising funds to support the mission to cure blood cancers. Several Student of the Year candidates, myself included, are competing in Central Pennsylvania, and we will each put our best fundraising foot forward in honor of all those fighting blood cancers. While childhood leukemia has the highest cure rate of any blood cancer, it is still the top cause of death by disease for children and young adults under the age of 20. This needs to change and I know that as we come together and partner with LLS we will find a cure.

I chose to run for Student of the Year because of the great number of losses I have experienced throughout my life. In July of 2018 a very close family friend of mine, Natalie, was diagnosed with cancer.  Knowing the impact that Natalie made on my life, and seeing her impact on everyone she touched, inspired me to want to share her story. Losing both of my parents at such a young age has horribly affected my life, but I've managed and lived through it. I was first introduced to the Croatian culture back in 2011 when Natalie invited my cousin Brooke down to St. Lawrence Club for the CFU Cultural tour with Mate Bulic, a famous singer from Croatia. The Croatian culture has deeply affected my life and has helped me fight through the hardest times. Seeing people I care for struggle to fight against disease and ultimately lose them has given me the inspiration to take that next step: to raise awareness, hope, and money for LLS.  I want to help as many families affected by blood cancers possible and I cannot do it alone.  I would love the opportunity to share more about it with you, in addition to the great work being conducted by LLS.

LLS is the world’s largest supporter of cutting-edge research to advance cures. They have invested nearly $1.3 billion in research, and this work is bringing more hope to the lives of nearly 1.2 million Americans living with blood cancer. In fact, the treatments that LLS is funding benefit all cancer patients. More than 40% of the new cancer treatment drugs approved by the FDA since 2005 started as blood cancer drugs but are now being successfully used in treatments for other forms of cancer. 

There are many opportunities for us to work together in this campaign and I would greatly appreciate a few minutes to share with you the many ways that we can partner together to cure cancer once and for all! Will you join my team and help fight for those who can not fight for themselves? If so, complete the attached promise letter and give us a call. If you would like to meet with me, please send me a few dates and times that will work for your schedule. If an in-person meeting is not possible, I am happy to arrange a time to discuss over the phone. Thank you in advance for your time, consideration, and support of the mission of LLS.
