Aman's Students of the Year Fundraiser
This is Swassie, she is our Honored Hero for the 2022 Student of the Year Campaign.
Swassie's battle against acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) began the summer after her sixth grade year on June 7, 2018. For the next two and a half years, she endured 28 surgeries and even faced a terrifying four long days of paralysis due to a rare reaction to her chemotherapy. Swassie remained resilient with the support of her parents, two brothers, and sister - and finally entered remission in October 2020.
While Swassie won her fight, she is among those four out of five pediatric oncology survivors who will face lifelong health complication due to her treatment. Issues with her wrist have forced Swassie to give up her previous athletic passions for cheer, tennis, and skateboarding. unstoppable But Swassie is unstoppable. She spent 3 weeks this summer independently traveling to see family for the first time in five years. This Round Rock Sweetheart volunteers at her local animal shelter, manages the school tennis team, cooks, and listens to classic rock. She won her battle and will win at life.
Aman's Students of the Year Fundraiser
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.
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.
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
Thank you,
Aman Reddy
