Students of the Year Austin
Grace Nelson | Team Grace
Grace'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.
While each story is moving, my friend Swassie’s experience of overcoming blood cancer serves as a vibrant example of the courageous, unwavering, and unyielding fight against these diseases. At just thirteen years old, Swassie was diagnosed with leukemia. Swassie underwent two and a half years of intensive chemotherapy and treatment along with seven MRI’s and twelve blood transfusions. She is so strong in this battle against cancer and has been in remission for about one year now. Today, Swassie is back in school full-time as a Sophomore at Round Rock High School. She volunteers at the local animal shelter and is the team manager for the school tennis team.
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
